One thing that can cause the rear axle on a "A-Body" to move around is if the upper and lower control arm bushings are shot. Same deal for the upper rear axle housing bushings.

I had bushings made from Bullit-proof Plexiglas and they will not fail due to impact or deform over time. They are a bit stiffer vs the Poly stuff though or the Rubber parts.

Ford was throwing out 2" thick sheets of the stuff 24" X 40" long.
When it gets a bit scratched then the cameras installed in the CRASH PIT cannot film the crash properly,
so they scrap the sheet. A sheet costs hundreds of dollars. You do NOT want a Rear Suspension System
with a lot of slop or you will get as was said Chatter.
