In the rear end it sound like u-joints, Now for the front when you turn the wheel you will need control arm bushing.

Checkyour ujoints for rear end and it may be a problem with backlash or axle wear make sure your fluid is full becuase i've seen many of these that were dry and the rear end was completley worn out. Have the frot end checked as it could be anything up front like ball joints, etc. Randico is not an expert just someone answering questions who thinks he knows what he is doing.
