Suspension Rattle/Thuds?

Whenever I go over a sharp bump or speed bump the the car seems to have a secondary thud immediately after the initial thud from the obstruction. It's as if something is lose. I've taken it to the dealer and they are claiming they can't find anything wrong it but I know something isn't right. Wondering if anyone has had a similar issue and what the dealer did to fix it?

it happens to me to. I thought is the spare tire on the back or something there.. but it could be from the airmatic. I don't think the mufler would hit the bumper (unless you modified something).
