Have you made sure your spare tire, jack, etc. are all secure? I had a similar problem and it was only the jack moving around when I would stop. This might have nothing to do with your problem but it will only take a few min. to check and wont cost you anything.

It could be the rear strut top bushing. Mine was worn out and had to have them replaced. It isn't hard to do but does require removing the strut.
