Your rear shockers are probably shot.

Im in the process of gettin mine changed,
I will let you know if it stops it.

problem solved turns out the caliper carrier was'nt put back on properly when it went in for rear disks and pads so it wont be goin back

I had a problem just like this, took me months to work out, and it was actually the lock on the boot, the spring had come loose inside the lock, could be worth a look. Or as I did, get someone to sit in your boot and pull it tight!
