Default Vibration on take off

Hi everyone,
I am getting some vibration on my '06 Mustang GT when I initially ease off from a dead stop. It lasts a few seconds and then goes away. This happens in drive or reverse (automatic transmission). It is almost as if brake pads are dragging on a rough rotor, although I get no brake noise. Seems to be coming from the rear. Also, on tight, slow turns, there is a squeaking type of noise like maybe worn out bushings in the suspension and I can't really pin down whether it is from the front or rear. I do not know if they are related.

This vibration seems to be getting worse. I've only had the car about five weeks, 84,000 miles, very nice looking and seems to have been very well cared for previously.

Anyone have any ideas?

Thank you and have a good day,
Barry

You might want to check the driveshaft center bearing and U-joints for excessive play. If your car is lowered, the handbrake mounting bracket may be rubbing on the driveshaft.

Thank you Dino. I am taking it to a shop in a couple of days to have them look at it. I will post here what the culprit was.
