Mysterious clunk/rattle

Alright everyone, I have a new issue to diagnose.
There is some sort of weird clunk/rattle in my 02 Runner when going over small bumps at lower speeds. It sounds like it's coming from the back, but I can kind of feel it in the front passenger floorboard. All of my links and driveshafts have been recently greased, and I just checked and made sure all of my body mount bolts are tight. Any ideas?

could be that the bushings are bad and exessive play causing a clunk over bumps.

Which bushings?

could be the rear sway bar bushing or the end links or the rear control arm bushings. you have to pinpoint the noise but bushings on our 20 year old trucks get overlooked so the bushings get deteriorated and don't do well under stress. energy suspension is my preferred replacement and make sure to use silicone paste.
 
I had a similar noise on my last 3rd gen that I could feel on the floor. Turned out my aftermarket Jaos exhaust was contacting the trailer hitch over bumps and it was being transmitted up the frame rail to the floor board.
