check you panhard bar (its the bar that runs from the driver side body to the passenger side of the axle) if its bent it can make you axle ride funny also check your sway bars make sure the endlinks arnt broken or loose and check the sway bushings

Broken sway bar or end links, I'd think. I'd go under the rear near the axle and check over everything...bushings, springs, shocks, etc. and see what looks bad.

I mean you could just have so much power at 60mph that your rear end doesn't want to stay straight!
