I'm following this thread.

My 2005 XC drives nice but I do have a knock on I think the left side rear but only when I go over speed bumps. I've tried recreating the knock on the driveway but trying to move the back end of an XC by hand is difficult.
I too have tried the mallet and cant find anything loose and using a bigger steel hammer all the components sound solid.
All bushes look good too.

It sounds like up and down movement knock as opposed to lateral.
