I have a strange rear end clunk going on that I can't find the source.

Within the last year+ I have replaced the rear shocks, torque rod bushings, and trailing arm bushings (all polly).

I have jacked the car up, and also loaded the differential so it is in drive configuration.
It isn't the exhaust.
Drive line & U-joiunts feel solid, slight gear lash but I don't think that's it
Brake pads changed about a year ago & have good material

So, I'm wondering if it can be the parking brake shoes rattling in the drum?

I have tried pulling on the parking brakes while driving slowly, they engage without making a noise.

The clunks appear to come from both wheels somewhat independently.

Any advice is appreciated.

Thanks

Mike
