Check the tire lug nuts and axle bolts for tightness. Forward force will pull the axle away when the wheels turned to the right and backing-up will torque the axle in. I wonder if the C-clip that holds the C/V joint to the axle shaft has come loose. Since the inner tripod joint slide in-and -out, you should be able to check the outer C-clip buy grabbing the axle shaft and see if it moves in and out at the C/V hub end. Best to use car ramps to check this, since jacking the car will drop the wheel height and the ramps will keep the axle at the normal ride angle. The other way to check the C-clip is to pull the boot back and check the C-clip. Not having the axle stub nut tight can ruin the wheel bearing since it needs to tight to hold the inner and outer race in-line. With-out seeing the car, this is all I can think of!
