I can relate with the first scooby love too man.
When my rear shocks were bad they knocked terribly for anything as well as providing CRAPPY handling. That probably could be your reason.

Yes sounds like rear shocks 
does it can also feel like you have oval wheels when reversing slowly on hard lock
depending where you go, Subaru dealerS could be £500-£1000
new OEM parts 
or reputable Subaru Garages £3-400 maybe. (Subaru dealer can be +50% on Price to others)
You best to ring around for Prices, remember to add VAT most garages Prices quoted are less VAT.
3 which are close to you are Powerstation Tweksbury, Litchfield imports Glouster/cheltenham or Scooby Projects ledbury
IMHO
