Classic death wobble. The bushings on your rear track arms (also called control arms) are toast, usually it's easiest to replace all 4 with new as it can be a real bear to just change the bushings. These are 4 bars that run front-to-back, from the rear subfamily to the rear axle (2 short uppers, 2 long lowers). These can often be found as a fairly inexpensive set on ebay. Depending on the amount of rust/corrosion, they can be either a fairly simple swap, or a very time consuming, labor intensive chore. You'll also need all new hardware to go with them, as more often than not, the bolts like to become one with the sleeves, making removal impossible without cutting them. If you use the search function, search "R50 death wobble" you'll find plenty of info, and a good write-up or 2.
