This is probably not your issue, but I recently had one that drove me nuts.

Driving around and as I accelerate there was a definite bang coming from the rear of the car. Decelerating and braking, the same noise, but slightly different. I was concerned that maybe a brake backing plate had come loose and was making the noise. Nope.

Checked everything. Then, I remember I had the back seat out (Tudor). I lifted the back seat cushion to find that I had left a 3/8 inch wrench extension in the pan under the back seat.

That will do it every time. Kind of like the doctor suturing the sponge in the patient. (Not quite as bad of consequences, though)
