I have the rear suspension with poor adherence, going over bumps I removed the rudder and goes sideways only the rear axle

that may be?

change absorbers 3 months ago and since then is wrong, I have traction problems and walked almost 1 month with 2 broken rear shocks

I have damaged something??

Take your car to a mechanic and have them inspect the rear suspension components. It may also need an alignment.

Nobody here can guess what's wrong with your car.

What does this mean "I removed the rudder"?

I had a rear steering problem when one of my Lateral Links was loose [the bar from the subframe to behind the wheel hub], it made the car swerve when I hit bumps or let on and off the gas.

Geeze, losing a lateral link is dangerous, be glad you didn't wreck.

Others, give the guy a break, look at his location. I am sure there is somewhat of a language barrier here.

he is from another country, hard to understand his english.

Check your tires thread wear and air pressure, make sure they are all good.
Inspect those shock absorbers that where installed, look to see if there is any oil leaks on them or what not, and make sure all bolts are tight.

Try to take pictures for us and put them here so we can see and give you better ideas on what to check.

Yes you most likely need to replace the rear shock absorbers.

I had a bent lateral link and it would hop like a bastard, I would definitely check those if you have replaced the shocks and it is still hopping

Maybe your springs are gone. What happens if you push down on the rear of car? Does it bounce up and down alot? It shouldn't bounce more than halfway down and spring back into position with no boucing.

if your car moves to one side over a bump then something is broken or you alignment is bad, please take it to a mechanic.

A strut doesn't have to leak to be bad. But if you replaced them, then its not those.

even with a huge barrier he manages to get the correct word count for A LOT. well done, I know many adults that still write it incorrect, and they are born and raised english. I think if you really think about what he types you can make out everything he is trying to say.

Keep trying, seems like you have a lot learned about english already

Check the following:

Rear links
DTSS bushings
Control arm Bushings
Subframe bushings

Basically inspect all of your rubber bushings. You say the car is basically stock so that means that it's most likely a worn part, unless it's been in an accident.
