Check your trans mount.

Re: loud bang from rear passenger tire area

The trans mount is usually characterized by feeling a "bang" through your shifter tunnel. If you're pretty sure it's in the back right area, check the springs, shocks, LCA's and anything else in that area. It should be pretty apparent what's "not right" in that area.

Re: loud bang from rear passenger tire area

Im having a similar bang when i go over a big bump or in a pot hole. Happens to be the back panel that covers the rear hatch motor that's jumping up and down. Might not be the case for you though.
