My "5" has this annoying clunking coming from the right rear side that occurs whenever and wherever. Temperature has no bearing at all. The only thing that's strange is that it stops if the roads are wet, or it's raining. This leads me to believe that it's a bushing on the stabilizer. I'm going to spray it with some teflon/silicon and see what happens. To date I've read of no permanate fix for this on ANY site I've visited. All that dealers seem to do is replace them, only to have it continue. I'm a mechanic and am pretty miffed that after 2 years of ownership this problem hasn't been rectified yet.
Well, that frigg'n cleared up all my questions?????? What the hell was that mess? Anyway, as I stated previously I sprayed the bushings with a good quality teflon lube (Dupont goes on wet and dries) and it seems to work.
I've got the same problem on my 07 MS3. It's a loose rattle/vibration whenever I go over bumbs from the rear of the car. I've exhausted almost all possibilities except the suspension. Did you end up getting it fixed?
I figured mine out. Turns out it was the rear swaybar had worked it's way lose on the right (non-drive) side of the car. I took the nut off, put some red locktite on the bolt and tightened it up again and have no problems since.

Could be the trailing arm busings. They wear out, but not that fast. If under warranty, have it check out. Hope this helps! Cheers!
