Driveshaft hits
I have an aluminum driveshaft when I make a sharp right I feel the rear end trying to come out from under me... Doesn't feel this way when making left turns... Also on back roads that are shaped in a v if I go from side to side the driveshaft touches the exhaust...
What's the first place I should start to look???
Thanks

The torque boxes you'll be able to see pretty clearly if they're damaged.
The control arm bushings, most times you'll need to put a prybar in there and pry them sideways. You should have almost no side to side movement at all. In extreme cases, you'll see the bushing actually falling out of the arm, deteriorating.
With the fact you say it only does this while turning right, you're going to want to pry the arms towards the drivers side of the car, looking for excess movement, or "torquing", where the arm rolls on an angle instead of moving sideways in a linear fashion.
