Everytime a pass over a bad road with holes I hear like a thump sound in the hatch. The sound is like something was loose. It's not metal on metal. I read the "stop the awful sound in the trunk" diy found here:

did a couple of tests with cloth and other stuff and still sounds the same. I took out everything that was in the trunk and still sounds the same. Took off the rear tires to grease up the sway bar bushings (greasable) and to see that the links holding the sway bar to the struts weren't broken. I also applied white lithium grease from a spray to everything that had joints and/or bushings and it still does it. Bounced the car a couple of times to try to re-produce the sound, but that didn't help.
Plan on taking it out to a muffler shop so they can check if the exhaust somewhere is hitting something, but it doesnt sound like it is.
Next would be to kidnap a midget and put him in the trunk to see if he can help. Any ideas what else I can check?
The sound is like something is hitting or loose. Like if you take a pencil, put it inside a cup and move the pencil.. like a wrench in a bucket and you shake it (hope you get the idea)
