Default Rearend problem?? HELP!!!

k guys heres the problem... tried doing a search and found nothing... my rear end seems to have play in it while im driving... it can be felt extremely bad in the turns.. if you take your foot off the throttle it feels like the rear of the car is gonna come out from underneath ya...i realize the chassis is gonna have a given amount of flex...but its more than this... you can feel it sometimes when you just mash the gas... the rear always sways to the right... is this normal guys? it seems to be gettin worse but maybe im just lookin for it everytime now... suggestions? help? anyone? my car is out of factory warranty or id take it in for service.. i have an extended warranty but it come with a $200 deductible.. plus you guys are more help than a honda dealership... thanks in advance..

Have you checked your rear tire pressure ?? Just a couple of pounds variation can make a difference.

yes check your tire pressure. i had one go near flat and when I'd accelerate it would pull to the right, and when I let of the gas it would pull to the left.

Have you inspected your differential rubber mounts. One may wear and make it slightly loose.

It could also be a possible change in your rear toe setting. When was the last time you had the alignment checked?

Have you checked the shock body for oil residue? There have been a few incidences of the shocks leaking. Being that they have some miles on them, this would be another place to check.
