Get under there and do an inspection, and I mean a real inspection, not just look for a minute. The shock(s) may have come unattached, spring out of end holder, look for anything and everything that does not look right. Is it sitting level, not one side higher than the other? Noise?

Tires could be out of balance? Hopefully it's just that..........But Have a good mechanic get that thing up on a lift anyhow. Thats a dangerous condition. If its not the tires, Something is loose on and or in the rear end. Check the axle housing and where the mounting points are. Check the rubber bushings. Pull on the rear wheels. I'd take a look inside that differential too. Make sure the axle shafts are secured in there properly. Be safe.
