This has been going on for the better part of a year, can't remember exactly when it started. With windows up it's difficult to hear. I've had two different techs ride along to listen, and location is from passenger rear wheel area. Car spent 1/2 day in shop with no diagnosis. They had it up on lift, checking for loose parts, test driving with rags wedged between parts, etc. Can't find any interference with exhaust or suspension parts.
There is a "ting-ting" sound from the aluminum drive shaft on acceleration - this is normal, or at least I'm all right with it. The "clank" sound is louder and happens when rolling over sharp bumps and uneven pavement - only with right rear wheel. Smoother bumps are usually quit. Rolling over the same uneven surfaces with left side of car is completely quiet/solid.
Ideas? I've been under the car numerous times checking everything over. It all seems tight. Now I'd like some opinions from techs and mechanics who know what to look/listen for, and may have heard a similar noise before. If you have questions about the maintenance history, please ask, but first looking for initial opinions. Thanks in advance!
