Thump in corners

Hello All,



I have a weird problem that I have been trying to solve. I have a E34 (1991) with an m20 engine.



When I go around a corner with giving it some gas, I'm getting a THUMP, THUMP, THUMP from the rear end. But when I give it some gas, it goes away in the same corners. But the sound is not there when going in a straight line. Only in corners with no acceleration.



I'm leaning towards a Diff Support or Subframe Bushing problem.



Any one else have any input?
