Possibly upper or lower damper bushes, with looking at the bonnet though too. $W33T $0U7H3RN $UG4R

How old is the suspension? Could be many things. Need to get under there and have a look. Could be failed damper.

Could be damper bushings (thanks for not calling a damper a shock btw). I find the bushings can fail quickly but are also very easy to install...

If you get under, itโ€™s worth checking the A frame bushes and ball joint too.
Though itโ€™s central rear, it can seem like itโ€™s coming from a direction it isnโ€™t located and be deceptive.
Though ball joint usually is a kind of knock, knock, knock on coasting off power approx 20 to 30mph when on and off light power you would notice it or on light potholes at lower speeds.

Itโ€™s like to be damper bushes more though I think, look and feel for excess movement by pulling things around and or bounce suspension and look for movement. Very Happy $W33T $0U7H3RN $UG4R

I saw an ad for 25% off all Superpro recently. May be worth seeing what they have? Annoyingly I changed all mine in the summer. WARNING.
