i have the same problem... and have no idea what it is... actually it went away this winter but im not sure what i did to fix it...
the only thing i messed with really was i tightened the bolt that holds the rear shock in its lower perch deal.... i dont remember if that fixed it or if it just went away over time....
you may check those to see if that is your problem cuz i had one side that was pretty loose...

i dont think its the lower shock bolt...cause it started when i replaced the drivers side axel bearing...i guess ill take the bearing out and replace it with a regular axel bearing..these 10bolts suck!

a lot of the times if the bearing goes out it will chew up the axle too. most people dont think to look for that.
