Have you tried checking your rear strut mounts? Or if your swaybar links have become disconnected?
On my previous vehicle I had the same issue once, and it was the rear strut mount that was gone. The rear shock shaft literally plowed through the center of the old strut mount, and at every big bump the car/bad strut mount would slide up and down the fully extended shock shaft (rear right I believe). The other side in the rear was still good. So it gave the rear end of the car this weird "sway" on mild to hard dips and bumps.
