Alunimum Driveshaft

My car used to hit potholes and and the back of my car would skake a lot. The shocks are perfectly fine I replaced the transmission mount, it needed it, and this helped a lot. Now it only happens every once and while. If I put in an alunimum driveshaft will this solve the problem? If this does not help what should I try?

Did you ever replace the rear sway bar bushings and links? If they are worn, the rear gets real sloppy...

What condition are your Lower Control Arm bushings? It sounds like it could be those. Also replace the panhard bar busnings while you are at it. The aluminum driveshaft won't cure this condition IMO.
