Default Rear loose feeling?

After I had foot surgery I let the Z28 sit for a few months, drove it to the track a couple times and let it sit. Then foot improved, so I started to drive it again, bought new wheels and tires and shortly after I started noticing a more loose feeling in the rear end. I don't feel it so much at normal speeds, but at a stop sometimes or backing up I hear more of a creak sound and kinda feels a little loose. Not horrible, but it seems like it started after the wheels.. could it possibly be the springs? bent tq arm.. I get a tiny amount of vibration in the wheel, but I think that is going from 16x8 wheels to 17x9.5 and more road feel now. I did notice last race season when the car hooked really well I could hear the same type of sound. I also think there is a little more play in the driveshaft than before too...

Check the springs first, for some reason they like more 'play' when its been sitting for awhile. Its weird but mine has done that too.

Adjustable shocks?
