Wouldn't I feel the vibration in the steering wheel then? The steering wheel is vibration free, or relatively compared to the seat, I feel that the vibrations that are in the steering wheel are just bleeding over from the general vibration in the frame caused by whatever anomaly is going on in the rear.

Have you looked at the transmission mounts and the motor mount?

I had vibration in my car after new tires.
I finally got rid of it by have all my tires road force balanced.

The car for sure needs new motor mounts. It has the vibration at idle in the cabin that you can feel in your seat. I could be completely wrong but I can't imagine motor mounts would cause the noise that i'm hearing. What is the road force balance? When I had my new tires mounted I had them balanced twice to no avail. But just the rears. I figure that the rear is the source of the problem as I don't feel any vibration coming up through the steering wheel.

You didn't mentioned if the vibration is with the engine running (idling) or only when you are moving,
therefore, I would check the engine/transmission mounts and Also the rear wheel bearings..

Usually there will be a "bubble" on the tire sidewall if that is the cause but his vibe is in the rear.
