It sounds like it's coming from the right rear, I thought maybe it was the strut but not sure. It's not a real heavy clunk like a worn strut, but more like a heavy tap sound.
When I hit a little bump I can hear a clunk, But going over a speed bump I cannot hear it.
If I drive over a cobblestone road I can hear it even when going slow as the tire goes over each stone.
Doesn't matter if it's in gear or neutral, the sound is the same.
If I push on the rear of the car it doesn't do it.
Just curious if there's some obvious things to look for.

I'm inclined to say that it is the rear 'fork arm' or what ever it is called for.
