Default Rear rotating clunk

Hey I've been having a little problem for roughly about a week or two now. Let me explain.

There is a rotating clunk sound only when i accelerate or at really slow speeds (5mph). Sound is located around the driver's side rear. I have a rear wheel drive car and searching through the forums i read that it could be the differential fluid. Got that changed... still is happening... also read that it could be the brakes or rotor... changed both.... still is happening... taking my car to my buddies shop tommorrow... but before i go down i just wanted to see someone else's input on this problem.

the sound though only happens after roughly 15-20 minutes after driving.... from a cold start i could go slow, fast doesn't really matter but once it starts it doesn't stop until i turn off the car and i guess let it cool down... my buddy thinks that it's a bushing and something with a drive shaft...

hope someone could put some input...

I would check the transmission mount or the rear knuckle bushings.They are the most common problems.
