Default Rear end slack

I have noticed that the back of the car seems to have a little slack in it. If accelerating real hard it feels like the back is going to one side. Also if you are on rough pavement you can feel the back end moving from grove to grove. (side to side) like it wants to follow the rut.
Any idea what is wrong??

^^Yeah. It's called tramlining. Very common with these cars. Best to keep both hands on the wheel.

could be part of it. Seems something may be worn out or getting worn out. The tires have about 10,000 or so left on them. The feeling while excelerating is what put me on to the not being sure what is feeling slack.
