How about a brand, model number, year, and serial number. Good photos of the problem would help others too.
 
Sounds lie broken mounting brackets and/or bolts, the front suspension is independent, but the rear drive motors are bolted solid to the chassis at the rear.

It is a Ferris, just worked on one last week doing a tune up. Yep, check mounting bolts on both transaxles. I have seen the lean on the wheels before. Once tightened it makes a whole lot of difference.
 
I advise you replace all the mounting bolts with harder grade 8 or metric equivalent, to help prevent future problems. Also be aware of running into chuck holes because hard jolts to permanently attached drive motors is hard on the components. The seat suspension and front suspension masks and minimizes a lot of these harsh jolts. This usually gives the operator a false sense that they can just run along over any rough surface without consequences.
