In my 2004, it was the rear sway bar bushings. They had worn enough to allow the bar to move just enough to "rattle". And they were hard as rocks. $27 and about 15 minutes of work and no more noise.

Do the bushings, also the end links. They can look and feel tight when they're not. Mine were shot at about 80,000 miles.
