Default Pass side rear vibrates, bad!

Whenever I'm coming to a stop, or slowing down, the rear pass. side of the car shakes extremely bad. I've checked everything I can think of and the only thing I noticed is the stock LCA on that side has about an 1/8" to 1/4" play in it. Can this be causing my problem? Any other ideas?

Nobody knows if this would be the cause of my problem?
I'd hate to waste money buying parts just to eliminate things, so any ideas what ever would help.

Thanks

rotors have too much runout? the lca could be the problem, a lot of options to look at.

you know I am having a similar issue but with squeeling on the rear driver side. I took my car to get smogged on the dyno and it appears that my axle was bent and the wheel did not spin true due to it.

i was having the same problem. i tried greasing all my fittings, i have hotchkis lwr control arms along with everything else. i also needed a brake job, it turns out it was my brakes. im not saying that is your problem but something to consider. it could also be a tire imbalance, bent rim. good luck

Thanks for the help guys...
I think I'm going to look into a few of them... Before buying new lcas or replacement bushings, I think I'm going to shim it to remove the play and see if it does anything. I'll also check into the brakes and put some new rotors on the rear since they are still original. I really don't see it being a missing weight or bent axle or the such, considering it doesn't vibrate just driving, but I will look to see if it's missing a weight, and spin the axle while the wheel is off to check for that too.

Thanks agian for the advise!
