This is exactly the problem I have. It is most pronounced when taking off
quickly, or with a passenger or in reverse.

I put in new factory rear springs and the problem persists. I also have 
replaced 
- -driver side engine mount
- -transmission mount (although may not be in correct orientation)
- -guibo
- -drivshaft support
- -u-joints

Since it only happens sometimes when taking off I have just  lived
with this problem quite a few years.
