Default Rear end noise and vibration

happy Monday everyone . Just came back from a weekend getaway On My Way back home. the car has developed a very severe vibration and later on metal scraping noise I went out and check the tires all look good visually but the vibration and noise are just getting worse also also I am having a hard time steering straight at higher speed.

Sounds scary. Anyone can point me to the right direction?

Thank you Vincent

I sometimes get that after too much TEX-MEX.

You're having a hard time steering straight and you need someone to point you in the right direction?
Sorry couldn't help but pick up on that, and after motorcarman's humorous comment I guess I can get away with it!

But seriously, yes, I would think that was pretty scary. If a thorough visual inspection using jacks and jack stands doesn't uncover anything I think I would take the car down to my local independent shop and have them put it on a lift and have them give it a look-see. Whatever it is needs to be fixed pretty soon.
