Same effect on mine was caused by vertical rear bushes gone on the poly'd 'bones. Pressed in two new OE bushes and it is now  fine :y

It's not the speed bumps, but that pesky rearward vertical bush most likely. 

Although mines something else. Single clonk once a week or so.

If you take the wheel off take a pic of the rearward wishbone bush and post it up.

Might be your top mounts.  I had a nasty knock when going over bumps/potholes and changed the top mounts which sorted the problem.  :)
