Check tyre pressures too maybe. Too low and they could roll onto the walls and slip out that way, too high and not all of the tread will be in contact with the ground.

or better still have a look at the rear radious arm bushes, if there gone you get about an inch of play and will make the car crab.

Are you taking corners really fast?.You will loose the back end if you do.I had a bad experience on a roundabout this year.Went round it bit faster than usual and lost it .Luckily it was about half twelve at night so no cars around.Didn't crash but was a bit hair raising.I had my tyres pumped up a bit to high [trying. to get better m.p.g].Next day changed pressure back to 28 front 38 back.

Could be, stick it into difflock and try to spin up on loose terrain, wet grass or gravel or something, try to see if both wheels are spinning up at the same time at the same speed (gettin a mate to look might help lol)
