its possible that you're u-joint on your driveshaft may be beginning to seize up. check it out, ive had similar issues and that's been the problem.

Year? Mileage?

Lowered? That would cause increased wear on the rear axle CV joints.

Surprised that you can pinpoint the problem to rear passenger side. Now you now exactly where to go for a solution.

Thinking about it more, 70mph sounds like a tire out of balance or something else wrong with the tire.

I had a Mustang once that swayed from side to side in the rear at certain speeds because of a failure of the belt under the tread, according to the tire dealer. It was replaced under warranty, and the problem went away. Not long after that, the car went away, too.

Specific MPH range usually suggests balance. I'd go there first.

Tire/wheel balence, or damaged tire.

I have had plenty of beaters with cheap tires to know.
