Wheel bearings? Tyres? Tyre pressures?

It's probably not any of these but best to get the small things out of the way.

That'll be handbrake turns then??? :o :D

Does the back end feel really light or is it just a thud thud thud sound when breaking? Check the axle or rear bushes where the axle joins onto the chassis in front of each rear wheel.

If yer bearings are out you'll hear a loud whining at certain speeds wich will get louder. Jack car up and move tyres up/down - check if any play

Whilst jacked up, check underneath at yer springs - possible suspension probs

Whats yer cornering like (if suspension it'll handle sh1te!)

Did u fit the new stuff yerself? If not take back to garage and get them to sort it!

I reckon bushes?
