Rear end rumble

It was a dry, sunny day today here in the Pacific Northwest (only the 
second one for April, I think), so I took the TR out for a spin, just 
to let the new top set in the sun :-).

Anyway, I noticed a rumble when cornering hard, either direction.  It 
sounds like it is coming from the rear.

This past winter I installed new u-joints, rebuilt hubs, new diff 
mounts and new bushings.  I couldn't see any sign of anything being 
lose or rubbing.  The only idea I have at this point is the exhaust 
pipe, as it is close to the frame, but I can't explain why cornering 
would cause a problem.  Any other ideas on what the problem might be?
