There's a lot of things that can cause that... and none of them are something to ignore.

Suspension mounts loose or broken, diff side yokes excess play, wheel bearings faulty/worn, trailing arm bushes worn... or worse, trailing arm mount or chassis rusted...

just a few things to consider.... but get under there and find what it is.
