try checking your tire pressure, may be the culprit

9 times out of 10 this is the problem. This car is very sensitive to tire and suspension changes.

Check your rear tire pressures. Make sure it's the same on both sides.

If you have different tires on each side or if one is more worn than the other it could also cause this.

I've noticed that especially under-inflation of the front tires causes the rear to kick out under hard acceleration/shifting... just noting that for posterity; as everyone said, check your tire pressures

Mine used to do the same thing, even with the same pressures in the rear, try getting an alignment, mine went away after a 4wheel alignment.
