What did I break?

I haven't driven the Camaro much since I had it at the LS Fest. I did some autocrossing with it there and took it down the 1/4 mile track twice. Now, the rear of the car sometimes becomes very unstable. Especially while using the brakes or on or after a curve. It feels as if the rear is moving from side to side. I have lowering springs, but the rest of the suspension is stock. I haven't had it in the air to look at it yet, but want some ideas of what to look for when I do. The car is not safe to continue driving until I fix this issue. Before I tracked it, I installed a McLeod RXT cutch and a DSS one piece aluminum driveshaft. I dont't know if they're related, but I also have a vibration under any kind of load. Oh, I also have DSS axles.

Hmmm! how about you check the rear lower control arm where the endlinks bolt onto see if there is any torn metal. Also swaybar and endlinks upgrade would be nice.
