check your sway bars, panhard rod, and torque arm to make sure theyre fine and the bushings are fine... make sure theres nothing loose in the hatch (hey it's possible lol)... and how are your shocks?

Check your rear shock mounts...the rubber bushings could be toast. They are located inside the car. Fold down the rear seats and pull up the carpeting. They're covered with a piece of foam.

its not shocks, could be bushings, i changed my shocks about 8,000 miles ago, so they should be good, but i guess i need to tear everything apart and see whats up, thanks guys

Make sure they are still tight.

don't tear it all apart, spray wd-40, or pb blaster in all your bushing, then take it for a ride, do you have rear disc brakes, check for your pads being loose, or your rear sway bar ends that connect to the body under down ward pressure the washers will be loose if there not tight enough and they will make some noise.
