Could be a whole lot of different things...

1. Swaybar endlinks
2. Bushes
3. Upper mounts (damaged/worn out)
4. Upper mount rubber seal (wedged between the upper mount housing and the spring... could be worn out, like mine are)
5. If fitted with coilovers -> Worn out strut tops/upper mounts

Haha Bryan, I just started to have this problem too. I'm ordering the daizen bushings tom and i'll let u know what's up after I install them. Oh BTW , I never had this noise BEFORE I had my coilovers installed. I am assuming with the lowered height and stiffer ride , the bushings blew out. The front right of my car was already making noises but now the rear makes that noise you mentioned. Who knows it might just be something in my trunk. I have a lot of crap in there that i'm lazy to take out. Either way i'm going with the bushing kit since the front is making a clicking noise when I go over bumps. Get that turbo in so I can get a ride in a turbo sc already. I gotta see when Gazi is free so i can get a ride in his car with his new BL61 kit.

lol just testing the coilovers. Bushings are getting bad really quick. I ordered them today. Hopefully they will be here by the end of the week and i'll have it installed early next week. Gotta get a alignment soon. Don't want to kill these tires Ray gave me

I have the same problem. Most of the time, it makes the car unstable over road imperfections. I'll check it out this weekend it might be the bushes. :/

Maybe you guys know.. But my driverside (lh) subframe mount has 2 bolts missing thanks to one stripping, and one snapping. How bad do you think this may be?
