There's always the "usual" u-joint problem, but what you describe doesn't
"sound" like that. I'd look at radius arm bushings and the vertical link
trunnion bushings. I'd also check to see how solidly the radius arm is
mounted to the body. Rust can cause that area to weaken or separate
completely, and that does cause the symptoms you describe (been there,
done that).
And I'd start looking REAL SOON; that really doesn't sound safe!
