Sounds like rear sub frame bushes if it's done over 80,000 miles it will almost defiantly be the problem

My guess would be rear sub-frame bushes a common problem around 80k upwards. They are not a nightmare job OEM will cost about £80 to £100 a set depending on where you buy, I changed mine for Polybushes £195 a set plus £45 for tool hire (bush puller) I changed the rear spherical bushes while I was under there £29 a side. I am an old bloke and an average DIY er but the whole lot took 5hrs with tea breaks.

Good luck
