Default Shaking in the rear

So up until recently I started noticing when I start to accelerate in my car I get a shaking in the back of my car closer to the rear passenger tire. It only happens when I start to gas it a little bit. Does anyone have a clue? Please let me know. Thanks in advance.

check your axle..torque it to 220 lbs if you havent already done so. Also check your wheel bearing.... and lastly make sure the lug nuts are tight..good luck

I am having this same problem after lowering an inch. Figured it was the axle though.

I did the CV cup swap and found NO pitting inside any of them, swapped them anyway, test drove it and still shaked; I retorqued the axles and retorqued the rear subframe bolts (two were not as tight as the others)... and VOILA, no more shakyness! Good luck

Rear subframe bolts are (2)19mm and (4)17mm

Get driveshaft Spacers! It might do you some good, If you already retorqued everything, I got the same problem, but unfortunately my axle shaft snapped. But just got a new one and also ordered some megan racing driveshaft spacers. If what I said did not solve the problem, You might have a bad U-Joint. Or you might just need a new driveshaft. but I hope you know that when you lower your car, you put stress on your axle/ball joints and thats why your getting that vibration/shakieness when you accelerate and such. I had to learn it the hard way haha. But yeah let me know on the outcome, if you solved the problem thanks.
