How do I check the differential play?
Is it the motion of the tires when you pull the top the bottom then right then left?
If yes, how much play can there be?
Also, I already bought a jug of Mobil 1 gear oil to change out the differential.

Jack up the rear and turn the driveshaft by hand and see how much rotation before the tires move. Also, check some of the other posts on ltd slip diffs. The old dodges with a posi-trac type rear end used to do just what you're describing under hard accel.
I'd suspect the diff mount or other mech issue though if you notice it that much. Also could just be the shocks are VERY shot. Check them for oil leaking out.
