thump
Could be shocks(struts). I have a thump or clunk from the right rear and have pinpointed the source to be from the right rear strut. Although I did check everything else on the suspension first. Are the rear struts leaking oil?
i tired to jack up rear end to take a look, only to find factory jack isn't very suitable. i couldn't find a rear site to put sizzor jack . it has a slot to grasp a pinch point. works fine on front end. every thing online say jack up at differential but sizzor jack seems ill suited for that.

Check the top nut on the rear strut, as well as the three mounting nuts that surround it. This will essentially require removing the rear seat and peering under the cargo shelf. There are directions for this on this forum.
If that top nut gets loose (possibly from shrinkage or compression of the rubber bushing), you'll get a knock or thump when going over bumps. This happened on my car.

A thump in the rear over bumps is most likely either a failed strut and/or strut mount. Could also be failed rear control arm bushings but this is unlikely. Both of my LS's had this issue and both times it was blown-out struts. Look for any oil residue on the strut body.
