1998 Ex. Vibration on accel from stop

I have a 1998 Explorer AWD with 116000 miles. When I turn left or right and accelerate from a stop, I get a short vibration. There is no vibration when accelerating with the wheels straight. I have not noticed any vibrations at any constant speed. Any ideas? Thanks.

do you notice it more on low speed sharp left turns? possible known vibration of power steering lines near steering rack and frame, which may just now be getting more noticeable to you.

Could it be a U joint?

If you have a limited slip rear end, it could be grabbing.
