This is just a cheap suggestion but could it be low tyre pressure at the back?

yes check tyre pressure but personally get a garage to give the rear axle bearing a quick check

if you swing the car left to right and then stop turning the wheel and it feels like it carries on then the bearings are shot

Jack the car up.. Grab the wheels at quater to three and shake.. Does the rear wheel move? If so, bearings gone.

Take the handbrake of first though other wise the brakes hold the wheel in place
