Diffential Problems?

I'm having problems with my 1999 F-150. My rear wheels shake everytime I turn the steering wheel left or right. I can hear a weired noise coming from the back of my truck like if it was the differential. However, that only happens when I stop and then go or when I make a turn really slow (5-10 mph). Other than that, it works fine. To give you an example, it feels like my truck is spinning but it's not. Instead, it just shakes in the back. I don't know what it can be since it doesn't happen when I keep the steering wheel straight, just when I make turns. I would like some advice from you before I take it to the mechanic.

Doesn't sound like a u-joint if it only happen when he turns.

Does this truck have a limited slip rear axle?

Have a great day,
Doc
