Yes! Get under there and smear some marine grease on the bushings/endlinks. Worked for my noisy 2000. (Urethane bushings though.)

I bet it isn't cheap unless the dealer does it under warranty. Sadly, my car is only a year old, but out of warranty mileage-wise. The bushings look fine. They are just noisy. This shouldn't be happening to a year-old car.

update
Ell title says it all, startin to hear a clunking noise goin over bumps from the rear left side. Thinkin its a loose bushing or just worn out mounts. Cars a 2012 v6 with about 36k on the clock. Im sure im not alone here so anyone else who has had this issue, what did it turn out to be? What was the remedy?
Christmas is coming around so maybe i can get it replaced by the ford handling pack when i take it in for service if the parts pricing matches

This is the fix for this problem.

You can wrestle around with Ford over this and never permanently fix the problem,, or you can install these for about 115 bucks and a couple hours work with a 15mm wrench and a tube of silicon synthethic grease. And, end up with a better handling car to boot.

Seriously this group is awesome! I've been hearing this clunk as well and it has been driving me nuts!!!! I thought it was loose lug nuts on the wheels but they were tight. Checked the LCA's and they are tight too. When it warmed up it was gone like the wind. Now that it's cold again it's back. WTF? I need to check the swaybar links and grease it up as you guys mentioned otherwise I need to upgrade the links to the BMR ones.

I recommend you bring it in to your dealer and have it checked out. Your service manager is in the best position to look into this for you and can check into any warranty, assistance, recalls, or customer satisfaction programs that may apply to your vehicle.
If you need further assistance, don’t hesitate to PM our FordServiceCA Rep on this forum.

Thanks for the previous post's folks. It has gotten much colder than normal here in the south, and the bushings in the rear of the Wifey's car started doing the same stuff. I'll have the dealer check it on the next visit, but glad to read it's nothing to seriously worry about.

Hey CCTking,
I think you should get it looked at by your Ford Dealer. Your service manager is in the best position to let you know if there is any work needed, coverages, recalls, or any assistance available.
Also, remember repairs done at a Ford Dealer come with a 24 months/unlimited miles warranty. Let me know the outcome.
You should also make an appointment with your dealer, Hadtohaveit’13 and let me get it escalated for you. PM me with your VIN, dealer, mileage, full name, and best daytime number.

I have the same problem/issue on my 2013 GT with 24K on the odometer. Loud clunkish rattle when I go over a large bump that causes the rear tires to move up and down. Brought it into the dealership and they tell me it's the rear shock and is a "common issue". Unfortunately, according to my service guy, Ford will not allow them to change it out unless the shock is actually leaking fluid somewhere, so it sounds like i'm forced to deal with it until I replace my suspension later.
I’d like to get this reviewed for you. Please PM me with your VIN, dealer, mileage, full name, and best daytime number.

I will Deysha, thanks for keeping up with us. Your are our Ford angle. I'll probably wait until the weather warms, and see if it stops. Our weather here in good old North Carolina has been unusually cold, so I'm not that worried about it being a serious problem.
