Rear shock is definitely blown. Had it happen to me. Basically, when you hit a bump, the shock has almost no damping power, and you are hearing the spring oscillating up and down quickly before it finally slow enough to not bang. You need shocks asap. Its only going to get worse, and is putting a ton of undue stress on other suspension components.

That's what happens with a blown shock. Your back end kicks out over bumps because you're only riding on one back wheel for a split second.
When I had a blown shock up front, my car would dive violently in that direction every time I hit the brakes.
Most people think shocks just exist to make your ride more comfortable. They are much more than that. They keep your car stable. Without them, you will literally be all over the road.
