Default Bang Noise

Everytime i go over a bumpy road im getting a bang noise which sounds like if something was beating on the floor pans (metal on metal kinda sound)
its def coming from the rear and its alot louder on the passenger rear but it does come from the left rear when going over a bump on that side
stock exhaust is tight, ive checked and tightened the jack/spare tire assembly
it doesnt sound like a bad shock (ive been a mech since 15 and it really doesnt sound like that)
are there any other common problems i should check? it ALMOST sounds as if the rear hatch is banging around but its down tight and doesnt move at all when pushing up and down on it.
thanks alot guys!

Sound like the y-pipe hitting the floor also check the tranny mount or torque arm bushing.

well as today was finally nice out i jacked the car up and went to town with my rubber mallet
turns out the panhard bar/track bar would shift slightly when hit and make a very annoying yet so familiar sound

well got my impact out and sure enough after a test drive the problem has gone away

the bolt for the track bar on the pass side must of after 105k worked itself lose (checked the bushing it was solid)
