Default need help on rear suspension

Hi
im new here and i need your help
i just bought a 2001 ap1 with 30k miles.
the car drives great but the only thing that bothers me is that the rear of the shakes when one or two tires pass thought gaps.
the previous used to run on coil-overs so i guess he might didn't install the stock suspension properly.
and also i hear some noise from rear.
please let me know if anyone have had same problems before.
thank you for your time.

Inner CV joints are probably worn. It's a fairly common problem. Does you feel a shake from the rear on acceleration?

It could also be the rear axle nuts need tightened. That's fairly easy and common on the early AP1s.
