It could be many things, tires need balanced, bent tire rim, half shaft drive axle bearing shot.
I would check and see if the rubber boots on your drive shafts are in good condition or torn? Also look and see if you see any heavy grease splatter near any of the rubber boots.
How many miles on the car and do you know any repair history on the car?

It is RWD, which means is has a live axle in the rear; that is, no CV joints. How old are the tires? When were the wheels last aligned?
