Rattle at rear of car when crossing sharp bump 900 1997

When the rear wheels of my 1997 960 sedan hit a sharp ridge or crack in the pavement (both wheels at the same time), I get a very consistent and loud metallic rattle from somewhere behind me. The ridge or crack has to be substantial, and the rattle does NOT occur when only one wheel hits.

It happens even when I empty out my trunk.

I replaced the rubber donuts for both the muffler and resonator - no change.

Sometimes I think it might be coming from the right rear door, but I've taken the inside door panel off twice, and can't find anything loose.

Anybody run across this before, and fixed it?

Thnaks!
