Has anyone experienced anything like this, it just feels weird to me. When
i am on the highway anytime i apply the gas or release the gas i feel a
little shimmy in the rear end of the vehicle, it just feels like the back
end goes left and right suddenly. I am just wondering where to look first.

Thanks

Inspect the rear suspension components (upper, lower control arms, track
bar) to see if you have any worn bushings, mounts or alike.

Also check for play in the rear wheel bearings. With the car on the
ground, push and pull forcefully the top of the tire, left to right, not
front to rear. If there is free play, you will hear or feel a knock.
