crab walking and strange noise

ok so never noticed it befor but have now.

when excelerateing in any gear the rear end of my wagon squats to the driverside and sits how, when backing off it comes back to normal. (very annoying when cornering)
this gets more noticable when towing a trailor.

i think whatever is causing this problem is causing a noise that i hear 90km/h+ when excelorateing or just cruising at that speed any less and there is no noise.

any ideas?, if there isnt enough info i will try to give more.

cheers
steve

I'd guess it would be your panhard rod.
