Suspension sounds funny 850 1996

Hello all, recently bought a lovely 1996 850 GLT non Turbo w/ 90,000K. I notice while driving in lower speeds over pot holes (but curiously I don't hear it over speed bumps?) that I hear a light clunking/slight metallic clang sound coming from the rear area. I checked the spare tire to make sure it was secure, and my Volvo mechanic said he saw no problems other than a yellow bumper cushion that had come loose and was stuck inside the rear shock coil. We clamped it back up, but the sound persists. Other than the sound my drivability is good, handling is tight and I have no other issues. What should I be looking for? Are there any good images that anyone has or can direct me to as to what a damaged or broken rear suspension looks like? Could my trunk area itself just be loose or something? Has anyone else ever experienced this?--Sorry for the long post:)--Lauren (total tomboy so give me the downlow!)
