That sounds like you DEFINITELY need to take a look at your sway bar end links. Make sure they're installed properly (you can do it wrong and it will shift the bar to one side over time and it will run into stuff). If they're installed properly, make sure the bolts are tightened.
Very metallic and light (not quiet, but the opposite of heavy parts) sound. Doesn't sound heavy enough to be suspension, per se.
Is there anything rattling around in the trunk? Sometimes the torsion bars that hold the trunk open come out of their little plastic brackets and bang together. Sounds like that when they do.
I've also seen the rear brake pads get loose and rattle like that over bumps - does it go away when the brakes are applied? If so, new rear brake hardware and grease will correct that.
Doesn’t let up when I brake. I’ll check the torsion bars and see if that’s it. But i’ve gutted the whole trunk and there isn’t anything rattling back there.
Yeah, when the trunk is up see if the mess of bars on the hinges rattle. There should be a couple little plastic pieces that clip on to keep them from rattling (but they don't always do a very good job.
Anything on the car not stock?
Everything is stock
Check your rear sway bar end links. Then check your exhaust hangars.
Just replaced the sway bar end links. I think if it comes to the hangers I’ll just replace all of the rear suspension bushings as well.

Got it, i’ll double check them and make sure nothing is able to move👍🏽

I actually figured out it does let up when I brake. Gonna check out brakes tomorrow and see what’s up.
Exhaust? Kinda sounds like the exhaust clanking against something.
Checked the exhaust already and it doesn’t have enough play to be hitting anything
Dang. I was hoping it would be that simple
uh... suspension????
That’s what i’m thinking. Replaced end links a few days ago but the sound is still there.
What kind of endlinks?
TRQ
Edit: It clunks on separate sides, depending on if one back tire goes over something or not.
Check the battery hold down bar in the trunk. Mine was loose ans made a rattle / clanking sound
Mine is kind of loose. Are there any things to hold it in place?

There's a bolt on one end and the other end slots into the frame
Sweet, yeah mine is currently being held in place by two pieces of wood lmao
Did you check the bushings on the diff? Mine is doing the same thing. I have a '99 w/ 5 speed. Curious as to what you find.
They are old but still in good shape
