Default Still rides *ROUGH* need assistance plz.

i have a 93 5spd w/135xxx miles.For awhile maybe a year now my car has been riding rough,progressively worse the last 3 months,out of balance/vibrating feel,tram-lining,noise in the rear(like a bearing) etc.happens on the hwy at 60-70 mph. I recently replaced the differential(old one had a lot of play)which fixed the tram-lining/bearing noise.I've replaced the front upper/lower arm bushings,trans bushing,rack pinion bushing,balanced/aligned twice(2 different places)disassembled the diff to see the spider gears were torn-up missing teeth with low fluid.NOW I STILL have the bad vibration out of balance feel at 60-70 mph which feels like it's coming from the rear.Any ideas so I can just have a smooth clean cruiser?

Thanks

When you say riding rough, most ppl thinks you're having a suspension or controll arm bushings. Have you tried simply balancing your wheels and tires and alingment?

Yeah I've had it balanced and aligned twice different places to be safe.I ran a different set of rims for extra measure with no change.Installed a low mileagediff.The old one had broken teeth on the R&P.Last week we found a diff\subframe mount torn so we added the weld-in mounts which helped a little.We are thinking it is the rear wheel bearings we plan on checking next.

I would say the struts or strut mounts are bad, or both. Check those next. Also could be your rear upper and lower control arm bushings.

That's what I'm thinking.I have new bearings here but,getting some hubs too since at one point the axle nut was very loose and I was driving it like that for about a month and now getting similiar things happening again along with a clicking(drv side) when I lightly apply brakes,tramlining,and a light surface scratchy sound like warped rotors on pass side.
