Default Strange sound from rear.

Okay. This isn't that clicking in the rear. Honestly, when I say rear, I'm not speaking about the diff, I'm talking rear of the vehicle. Here's the deal:

Basically, if I'm cruising, looking to hang a U-turn in the middle of the road, I'll slow it down and turn it around. The car's got a nice turning radius, so I cut it kind of tight.

The weird thing is, though, if I apply brake while I turn tightly like that (at low speeds), I get this crazy vibration coming from the rear. I call it crazy, because it's loud enough to not only hear, but feel. It practically shakes the car.

I didn't do a search on this, because I figured "strange vibrating noise from rear when doing u-turns while on brake" was too broad a search topic.

It's not. I do most of my driving with VDC off, because it's a hindrance more than it helps. Brake shudder sounds like the best thing, but I can't determine why it's happening.
