Re: vibration in rear end.

Vibrations at 55-60 MPH is usually tires and wheels.

Any noise besides vibration?
E brake usually does not vibrate.
To check for E brake cabble sticking jack it up in rear and apply brake and then release it and see if you can turn wheels by hand without drag.

Re: vibration in rear end.

Swap the tires front to rear and see if the vibrations transmit through the steering wheel. If so it's defintely the tires.

You can flush up more problems than you flush out.

How is fluid level and fluid condition?

With that many mile it is dangerous to do anything to it.
Is fluid level good hot in park?
I would just check filter and not even use much new fluid.
