'04 Noise

My '04 w/25k has had a very slight subtle click/clunk somewhere in the rear. This sporadically(sometimes) occurs when I am coasting/light braking to a stop at about 2-3 mph. And then sometimes occurs again when I accelerate from the same 2-3 mph.Have had it for a couple of years & maybe 5k. Not really loud, can't hear it w/radio on and you really have to listen for it. Mechanic can find nothing and says don't worry about it til it (if ever) gets worse. It's not overly loud, it just bugs me.
Any input & thanks

Check all your fasteners back there and make sure nothing is loose. Make sure your wheel nuts are torqued properly. May also be sway bar bushings.

Make sure your sway bar links are tight. I had a similar problem a few weeks ago and one of the links was not tight.

This. If everything is tight and in good condition, then search further. Good luck .
