Default Rear end or axle shimmy?

I have an '06 Ram 4x4 1500, when turning from a stop I get like a shimmy or vibration from the rear. Could it be the rear end or rear axle? It does it more when turning left but also a little bit when turning right.

Do you have a limited slip rear end? Had any work done back there lately?

Yes, LSD. I'm not the original owner, so I don't know.

Then I think the first thing I would do is change the fluid, and make sure it gets the LSD additive.
