Default Speed 3 - Help with noise?

My Speed 3 has developed an interesting noise that I have been unable to pinpoint. It is coming from the rear on the passenger side, I think. It sounds likea mix between a box bouncing in the back, plus a strut being loose combined with something dangling and hitting a body panel. It doesn't seem to be related to the suspensionand I cleaned everything including the jack out of the back trying to find the cause and it's still there.

Anybody heard anything similar? Any ideas?

Yes, I know it exactly. It's very fatally deadly. I will spare you the horrers and take upon your burden. I will trade you my 3i touring phantom purple sedan and I will sacrifice myself for you, so you may carry on into the world in Gods name... ahmen.

Well, I think the noise has been pinpointed to the passenger rear inner fender. Somehow it is contacting something behind it that makes the sound I'm hearing while driving, but it takes enough movement by hand that I'm not quite sure how it happens. I'll investigate more after I get my 4Runner in the shop (major t-case failure on Friday) and my cracked rib heals up.
