I’ve checked every nut and bolt on all of the suspension sway bars, etc., nothing loose.

Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Ok guys, here is one for you guys. My 2000 Boxster 2.7, 185,000 miles, has a tracking issue in the rear. When going down the road in a straight line 50 mph and above, the rear end darts back-and-forth almost like you were driving on some kind of grooved pavement.  it’s not like the car is fishtailing, it’s just a wiggle.  i’ve had the car up on Jack’s and been all over underneath. I see nothing loose or out of place. I’ve pushed and pulled and tugged on everything. I’ve checked every nut and bolt on all of the suspension sway bars, etc., nothing loose. Wheel bearings are good, shock mounts are good. I’ve had it on jackstands with the rear tires hanging free i.e. no weight. I’ve had it on jackstands and then jacked up each tire so that it is holding weight and checked it for anything loose.  I changed my tires, Michelin pilot sport, and put my sticky track tires on. It still does the same thing.  the only thing that I can figure is it may be the steering rack. I don’t feel any play in the wheel. I don’t feel any play while driving and the rear end is wiggling. Recently change the front motor mount  so that is good. I have never changed the two transmission mounts. This has got me stumped. I’ve owned the car for 13 years and put 100,000 miles on it. I’ve never seen or felt anything like it. has anybody got any  bona fide ideas. Please, no jokes, I’m way past that. thanks in advance.
You don’t mention if any of the suspension has ever been replaced. You’ve. potentially got a bunch of 23 year/185k mile old rubber bushings front and rear.
Thanks Tom, you are right. I have not replaced any suspension parts except the sway bars. Rather than just replacing everything, where should I start. Obviously the rear. Then what? This could get expensive.
I'd get the alignment -- that almost seems like one side or the other has some toe -- could be in or out. One of the control arms could be bent ever so slightly --- or maybe while still tight, something knocked something and added some tow, but otherwise appears fine (i.e. tight) -- until you drive it.
