2.0 TSI Rear wobble over bumps

I have a 2011 2.0 TSI DSG with DCC, recently its felt like the rear end hasn't quite been right, fairly sure it happens when the rear drivers side goes over a sharp bump. Its hard to describe, but you can feel it in your bum that there's a bit of side to side movement in the back where there shouldn't be. Most of the time it feels totally normal, its just every so often when you drive over a bump in the road. Ive had it jacked up, none of the bushings look particularly bad, everything tight, there's only 48k miles on the car, just wondering if anyone knows of anything that might cause this?

Have also noticed that one of the rear shocks is starting to leak, does anyone have any recommendations on where is best to buy a dcc replacement shock?

Many thanks.

I just had my rear shocks (at 150,000m) replaced by a trusted local independent - £800 inc the VAT because I did the pair of them, rather than just the leaking one. Rear end feels much better now but I do not recall feeling any "wobble" in the run up to the change as you describe it.

I'm down in Cornwall so if you are too, I can send you details of the garage I used.
