Hey Mike,

i have this same problem. things to inspect include proper lubrication of 
the inner and outer drive shaft (it could be sticking and slipping back and 
forth), check proper torque on your trailing arm bolts, and check proper 
torque on the body-to-chassis bolts (DMCJoe says this is the most common 
source of the sound). i still have this problem because i have yet to find 
time to check all those bolts!!

Andy.
