Default Bad diffrential or axles

When ever i shift at a Little higher rpms,it feels like my rear tiers are gona come of. The car feels like it goes side way a little like one tire is spinning faster then the other , mostly between 2 nd third. i feel it pulling hard to the left but then it strignts its self is a slight pull. Is not wheel spin cuz is between 3 -3500 rpm Could this be the axles or diff Im getting a lot of clicking nd pooping from the rear passenger side tire. Thank you

Lol pooping.

To be honest hard to diagnose too many variables.

How many miles and when was the diff fluid changed last?

My bad I edited my post. I would say it's differential. Could be something as simple as fluid need to be changed.

Check the axles and diff mounts instead of pooping from the rear

i say blown differential bushing. The one that goes to subframe. When mine blew you could tell the rearend was a lot looser and got pop thud type sound.

I used to feel the same thing until i did my differential bushings. I only notice the problem once in a while so hopefully it doesn't reappear. Launches feel much firmer now. I do slightly suspect some is from the subframe bushings as well but will not be doing those for a while.
