Question swapped rear end last night, couple problems

I swapped 10 bolts last night. everything is back in now , but when driving the car feels a little loose. I have the LCA relocation brackets in and the car with STOCK lca's and sways' still in. also around 35-55 or so there is a descent wobble. what could this be and what should I look for? is something loose, tightened every thing up in the air so maybe we should have let some pressure on it then tightened stuff up? please help

it could be your LCA's you should pry see if they are loose and tighten them up, it shouldnt be the gear because if you put it in and tighten the bolts up and stuff if it worked loose it would make a grinding noise no shaking involde so i think its your LCA's.

Jack it up and double check all of your bolts. LCAs should be tightened with the axle loaded but that wouldn't cause the car to sway.

Ended up being the rear wheels, some how last night/this EARLY am they didnt get on all the way, I had to file a little tiny bit inside each rear wheel for it to slip on just right.... Works good now!
