so my dad took my car to get it aligned today and he also but new tires in the rear, 205/65/15 in the rear and 205/60/15 in the front. ok so here is the deal. my dad said that there is a vibration in the rear end(not clunking) and the passenger side rear tire leans in a little bit. the guy who aligned it did the best job he could do in the back and he said that there could be something bent in the rear end or its the body, and my dad said that it could be the drive shaft or the universal joints in the rear. so does any one might know what would be wrong with it?

and also if any one has front end links for a 1990 that they dont need i will buy them, if there in good condtion

There could be worn bushings moving some of the alignment settings around. The alignment could be set, but if the bushing is totally shot, that arm will move around and cause your alignment to move around. When you inspected your old tires, how was the wear on them?

Wow - I wish I had a Dad.

On a less serious note, take your car to a QUALIFIED alignment shop. They'll be able to tell you EXACTLY what is wrong. Sounds like the place you took it to is mediocre at best.
