Put some chalk on the tyres' profile, and see where it wears off when driven straight ahead.

You could have overinflated the tyres for the weight of the car, i.e. made them bulge in the center of the thread.

Old car with probably a well worn suspension + high pressure may mean the suspension can't cope anymore.
The rear end on my car is also a bit lively.
(180.000 km on the shocks, 3.5 bar in the tyres)
If it's just the (light) rear end, reduce pressure a bit there - it's not as highly loaded as the front anyway.
