Unhappy Rear end problem

On Wednesday I was on the highway and @ 75 mph drove through a really, really deep series of 2-3 potholes- 6 to 8" each- on the left side. This was not by my choice of course, someone else had a major lapse in their driving abilities and failed to see a dark blue station wagon with headlights on in broad daylight Harriet and I almost went off roading down a ravine thanks to that dumb arse on the phone Any way now there is a noise(popping) like everything back there on the left is jumping all around on even the smallest of bumps. There is also a very pronounced wobble at low speeds but goes away after about 25-30mph and is gone until about 65+ where it comes and goes. I am thinking I may have blown up one of those expensive rear shocks and possibly more. When I drive the car it seems to have a wandering rear kinda like it wants to break loose and go in another direction. I just don't feel in control. There is a sound like a cupped out tire when I turn the wheel to the right that is coming from the rear. Speed doesn't seem to affect this sound but how far I turn the wheel does. I have inspected the tire for uneven wear- negative and for balancing weights- still there. She seems to not be leaning, sagging, or listing to one side on level ground. Any ideas anyone? What do you think about insurance covering this sort of thing? Also anyone in Mass. know of a good repair facility on the Cape or nearby?
