Default Banging/crashing sound from left rear

This has me really freaked out as this has happened the last 2 nights leaving work. Its relatively cool (40 degrees) as I leave - car picks up fine, leaving my parking low there is a dip which causes the car to bounce a bit.

Going over the dip, there has been a very loud bang/crash sound from the left rear - somewhat near I'd guess the top of the wheel well area. The car drives/turns/brakes fine after the noise and it doesn't happen again when going over other depressions.

Visually everything looks ok, nothing recently installed on my car, and after driving it extensively last weekend, no problems.

Any ideas at all?

There's one dip in my neighborhood that does that to my car, even though I've hit steeper dips and had no noise come out. The noise almost sounds like my shocks bottoming out, but I know they are not. I dunno, its weird. It's probably nothing, but I know I can say that about my case, probably yours too.

I'm slightly clueless..maybe make sure that all the bolts are on and tight at the top of the shock towers back there...
