That's the old problem with limited rebound travel in the rear suspension.
The inside axle half hits the frame, which suddenly transfers weight off
the inside wheel, with all sorts of interesting effects. Doesn't even have
to be a rough turn, as simply a hard turn will do it. I use a rear sway
bar to reduce the problem, as it both limits ultimate handling, and can be
dangerous if you aren't expecting it (especially in a hard, high-speed
turn).
