Help?! My Coupe is shaking over bumps in the rear end

My coupe has around 56,000 on it now, everything has went great with the car, nothing serious has went wrong until recently when ive started to notice a great deal of "play" and "wiggles" in my rear end when i go over bumps or bit pot wholes. It feels like the car shakes side to side, enough to notice and feel it, and be concerned. People in my car ask why does it shake like that? I have my car lowered with tein type S's, my camber is off, but has been off, and hasnt shaken like this. I have aftermarket rims on the car, tried the stock ones same issue. It seems as if my bushings are totaly shot, but i wouldnt think this was possible, and i havent seen any other coupe owners talking about anything like this? Has anyone had any experience with this, i dont want to go changing all my bushings if thats isnt the issue. Tire pressure is good, everything is good, its mechanically something wrong. I almost want to bring it to infiniti but with my springs in there i couldnt afford to have them look at it and than fix it at infiniti prices. Anyone feel like their car lost some of its stability? Could this be my bearings, or do i have another issue? Thanks for the help!!!

Sounds like your toe is off.. I had this happen to me when I was driving around with new rear camber arms.

Might be a strut also.

could the toe gradually get more and more out of line as i put miles on the car. The springs have been on for about 25k miles. My problem has gradually gotten worse... but did not happen when i first installed my springs...

When you put on your springs did you go get an alignment? Your supposed to after you put on any aftermarket springs.

do you still have stock shocks? i started to have that problem with my 01 eclipse. i had it lowered with H&R springs with stock shocks for almost two years. When i got KYBs the problem was gone. My dad had the same problem on his Lexus LS when the air suspension went out.

Def. the struts man. They are bad after having the different spring rate on them. The stock shocks are designed to have a specific spring rate spring, when you change it around they wear faster and this usually is the end result.
