It could be drop links, and almost any other bushing in the suspension. The test I outlined work well because the trailing arms' function is to provent rearward and forward motion of the suspension.

I don't know whether this is always true, but when mine started making noise they were quiet when cold, but as they heated up they would get noisier.

Good luck!
