Only from the rear? If your confident that the front suspension is ok eg. front wheel bearings, ball joints, tie rods and steering linkage.

Check the rear springs; they help locate and control lateral movement for the rear axle. Inspect your u-bolts and spring shakles.

If the swaying comes and goes it could even be tires with broken belts.

bad u-joints usually cause a vibration not a bounce.
