Distinct Side by Side Sway (Low Spd), Vibration (High Spd), funny rattle (bumps)
I think I am having some issues with the rearend suspension system. When I hit a bunch of bumps in succession I get a series of loud noises like something is loose. At about 10mph the car does a funny side to side distinctive shake, then when I hit 78-80, i get a serious vibration coming from the back as well.
I new to the camaro, did some searching on here and couldnt find much that met the criterea of problems I am having.
Tips on what to check, pictures if available as I am new to the terminology for the Camaro, but capable of working on things.
Thanks,

As for the low speed sway and high speed vibration, look for either a bent wheel or a bent axle.

Jack it up and check your Wheel Bearings. Another thing you might look at is your Strut mounts.
