Whenever I make a hard turn one of my back tires will start to sort of "bounce" or "skip" across the road without actually sliding. Is this due to worn bushings or other suspension components that need to be replaced?

yu need to replace your rear shock absorber (aka strusts) not your entire coilover , just get gas replacement shocks

Ok thanks sound rational

I know my rear struts are crap compared to my fronts, and I know they need replacing, so that's a logical explanation to the problem. Thanks.

yur very welcome...my s13 did the exact same thing and thats what it was..another way to test it is to push down on yur rear bumper oe hatch or trunk(depnds on if yu have a hatch or coupe) and if it pushes down easily and bounces around its yu shocks...i could literally BOUNCE the *** end of my car with 2 fingers...replaced wit monroe gas replacements and its a whole nother world. it put better power to the ground and handled soo much better..good luck and drive safe!
