Thumbs down need car advice!

i juss got the S back from the shop about 2 months ago...juss recently ive noticed that my rear feels like it going to kick out anytime...when im going over 60mph...i never have this happen to me ever.....i use to go 100+mph no problem.....now when i hit 61, i dont wanna go any faster ...is it juss the winds or what? im lowered on buddy club coils...my car was replaced with lower control arms on the driver side....then i had an alignment done right after the accident......i had them check out the whole car again....no blown shocks or whatsoever....what could this possibly be? my tires are practically brand new any help is great! this makes me not wanna drive the S even more....i realized that it might be a couple things....either i need to get it corner balanced again or my frame might be damaged a little....but is there any way to find out about frame damage juss by looking at it? i know there is a page on tirerack talking about this but i couldnt seem to find information to help me find whats wrong...any info is appreciated...thanks guys

What tires and how many miles do you have on them? If you only have a few miles on the tires they may just not be broken in yet.

Make sure all your bushings, links and control arms are fine. And your shock mounts as well. Checking the alignment again would be a very good idea too.

Keep up posted on what you find.

I had this exact same feeling at anything over 50mph...turned out to be one of the belts in my tires was begining to shear...it eventually would have completely broken and then been undriveable. I replaced all four (cuz i didnt know which was causing the problem, no bumps or anything were noticeable from the outside) and the problem was cured

The new tires also may not be working well with the front tires. Sometimes they just don't want to play together. It is always best to match the tires on all ofur corners.
