Default Need Help ASAP! Horrible noise coming from rear end

Hey guys. Here's the deal. I just added a '00 B4C Camaro to the stable. The car is completely stock and shows 130k on the clock. Everything about this car is great shape except this crazy rattling/shaking sound thats coming from the rear right side somewhere in the area of the right rear tire. It doesn't happen any other time except for when I brake. During normal driveability it seems to drive fine. When I begin coming to a stop I can hear and feel violent rattling/shaking coming from that one side, it almost feels as if whatever is moving is doing so in an up and down motion. Or if I go over a speed bump to hard by accident it will shake violently. It also feels like when I get up to speed the rear is "loose", in otherwords not in correlation with the front of the car for a few seconds and then it evens out. Sort of like the rear of the car wonders a bit before it gets straight.

I was going to be doing this repair myself but wanted to know where to begin. I was thinking rear Lower Control Arm? I don't know much about suspension diagnosis & repair but I just can't think of anything other than the LCA that could create this problem. I was thinking of purchasing a LCA Bushing kit but wanted to hear a few opinions first. TIA!

Check out your LCAs.

Mine both had their rubber bushings separate from their bushing sleeves. You could literally grab the LCA and move it side to side.

Yep ended up being the LCA. I've got BMR LCA's on the way.
