Even I am starting to think this sounds like loose brake parts...

Thinking about this..

There'* wheel bearings..doubtful
Endlinks.. possible..should appear broken
Sway bar mounts.. ???
Muffler could be loose and hitting the shield etc.
Bad strut..look for oil leaking
Brake parts... pull and inspect
ball joints..

Check the spare wheel well in the trunk, and anything else in the trunk. "New York lotto, hey, you never know".

The Spare Tire Is Tight, so it isn't that.

I jacked the car up and wiggled he back tired and them pounded to see if I could hear anything, and they mad eno abnormal movement or noise at all!

Like I said, I could be going down a dirt road, and it'll make no noise. It'* totally intermittant

Here'* some pics if that helps: They look wet because I sprayed WD-40 on everything

Wow, I'm gettin stumped here. Can ya get a pic of the whole *** area? Preferably something up close that can get the whole a-army assy, strut, shock in one shot. Both sides. And a shot that gets both rear wheels at the same time. Its a little hard seeing things up close when you can't see from far away either. Ya know? Thanks.

I want to say it'* the rear brakes because this morning, i pushed down hard on the pedal when i was parked and I heard sort of a clunk/metal loose click from the rear brakes. It wasn't all that loud, but it sounded like a quieter version of what I heard the other day
