It may well be ball joints (though ours are still good, I'm told, at 98k miles). But first, do you have the split fold down rear seat option? Ours sounds a bit like this on rough roads if the seats are not completely (hard!) latched upright - amazing what sounds come out of that trunk area. I am tempted to dynamat the entire trunk. The sound seemed to come from up front, but my wife had to ride in the back once, and she noticed that the seat back moved slightly. We re-slammed the seats closed, and the sound went away.
