Something is very wrong - likely to be in the back-end suspension.

Take it to a reputable repair shop and have a professional inspection. That doesn't mean you have to have them repair it, and if not, you may have to pay a nominal inspection fee. My favorite tire shop charges $20.

That's well worth it to know definitively what is wrong and avoid replacing perfectly good parts.
