More than likely 1 or more subframe bushings have let go (when they let go they just split and start loosing silicone) but there could be a stuffed shock mount, or something loose. Basically anything that can let the wheel move could cause a problem.

1. Inspect Subframe bushings
2. Inspect upper and lower shock mounts
3. Check shocks are working properly (you say you have new shocks).. push down on the rear 2 corners, make sure that they beahve evenly
4. Check shock actuators to make sure they are working correctly (does sport setting = hard as f**k ride?)
5. Inspect all other bushings you can see in the rear end
6. Consider a wheel alignment & wheel balancing (just to check the wheels aren't suddenly off balance)

Like I say, get out there with a torch and have a look a round. Whatever we say here on tt.net is pure conjecture until you have a good close look at it
