Thanks, Joe
It could be a rear differential problem, but first do not at first jump to the most expensive conclusion. A worn or loose suspension or sub frame mount, could be the culprit because of lateral loads applied during cornering. Use lever between all such components and search for anything with excessive play.

Let's hope it is not the diff.
