I'm not sure if this is normal, but that's the only thing I could really feel was "loose."

I also rotated the tires front to back and vice versa, but I feel like it actually made things worse. Now it feels like my rear end wants to slide out easily / is wobbly. I'm 99% sure I did everything up correctly - I lifted the car by the front jack point and the rear diff, made all the lug nuts snug before dropping it, and then torqued them to 100 ft/lbs on the ground. I hope I didn't mess something up, but I don't know why it would be worse after the rotation.
Welp, I can appreciate your tenacity in trying to figure out what's wrong with your car ....... but, I have found that there is a time to give up "looking" yourself and take the car into an alignment shop.

Now, ol @strat61caster is running out of patience with you. And you are on the verge of getting a from me.

Even IF you find a loose/broken piece and fix/replace it ....... most likely you are still going to have the alignment done at a shop anyway.

Whatever is going on with your car sounds like it's a serious condition, that could cause a mechanical failure.

END OF LECTURE
