    When I go over 60 mph, I am feeling a vibration in the rear wheels. Everything I've seen like this talks about a vibration in the front wheels and the problem being tie rod ends.

    Rotate wheels. See if vibration moves. Would indicate improperly balanced wheel. Make sure to clean rust off wheel and bearing surfaces to ensure tight fit. Inspect tires for bald spots.
    Bent rear trailing arms?
    Warped rotor?
    Irridium spark plugs last 100k mi and work just as well as copper. Copper is a waste on N/A and only lasts 15k mi. Don't use Platinum.
    Use 195* tstat unless you can thoroughly explain why not; 99.9% don't need a lower temp.
    Almost any oil filter, ever, is of higher quality than ACDelco. Spend $6+.

    I am due for a tire rotation/balance. Wheel bearings and rotors are brand new, so I doubt that would be the case. I checked out the trailing arms. If they are bent, it isn't visible to the naked eye.
