Default Noise from back tires?

I noticed a noise coming from one of my rear tires when I go over any kind of bump. Seems to only happen when its chilly outside. Any ideas?? Its not extremely loud, maybe like the shocks or something? I'm not worried, the car is driving beautiful but I wanna know what it is.

Default What did you find out?

My car is doing the same thing...

Noise from rear - only when it is cold, usually when going over a bump... sounds like something from the suspension.

Replace struts, strut mounts.... still no change.

Dealer checked out and fixed three other things... still no change...

I am trying to figure out what it is???

HELP!!!!

Could be rear wheel bearing. At first I thought it was the struts but later found the whole wheel was wobbling, found one at the junk yard, easy swap.

I had the same problem, check the bushings on the sway bar (aka stabilizer bar). I bought them for $6 from Rock Auto.
