Vibration from passenger side of car
SOURCE: Vibration and noise from front end while driving
Jack up the front end and put stands under it and block rear wheels. Look at axle boots and see if they are cracked. Try turning wheel back and forth sharply and see if you can hear any clicking. Problem could be outer axle joints. If the boots are cracked or you hear a clicking noise you will have to replace the axle. The axle and boot come as a complete unit. Please let me know what you find out.

You are going to have to get under there and give everything as good look. Check all bushings for wear and looseness, check springs to make sure they aren't broken and check struts for leakage. Struts are gas-charged and if one has leaked out usually there will be residual oil at the top where the shaft goes in. When checking suspension, check with wheels supported (on ramps) and check free (jack under chassis, wheels and axle hanging) Don't just look...try to move stuff to see if there is any play there.
Personally, I wouldn't drive it 'till it's fixed. In an emergency situation you will loose control if the back end isn't tracking correctly!

SOURCE: going over bumps the rear end slides sideways
First guess is bad shock absorbers. You may have a broken or disconnected 'track bar' that locates the rear axle laterally. Make sure that both spring assemblies are intact and nothing is loose. Check the control arms for damage and for loose or damaged bushings or bolts. Check the rear tire treads for abnormal wear indicating alignment problems.
SOURCE: when turning right car vibrates
If the traction light is on, it sure seems like a wheel bearing. Jack it up and double check.
If you're sure the bearings are OK and the wheel bolts are tight, it almost hase to be the axle shaft/CV joint.
