Default Noise from rear end around highway curves

I have a an 03 rx, 153k, original suspension.

Whenever I go on the off ramp, I hear a rotational clunking kind of noise from the rear of the vehicle. I also notice the steering wheel shimmies quite a bit. Could this just be a balance issue?

You did not mention FWD or AWD.

If AWD and the problem happens on the curves, then the rear diff may need servicing/looked-into.
