Default Rear struts are bad
Will these fix the problem? Are they easy to install yourself or will I need to go to a shop?

yes that will fix your problem, if you have some mechanical knowledge you can do them with hand tools

Should be a easy enough job by yourself and for a shop.Either way it should fix the problem.
