93 Nissan Sentra SE, 67k miles.

When the weather starts getting hot (Florida hot) and I've been on the road for just a little while, I start to hear a noise from the rear of the car that sounds kind of like I've got a bunch golf balls in the trunk. Doesn't sound like it's coming from one side or the other, nor does it seem to matter if I'm turning or going straight. Any sort of bumps in the road, however, do seem to make it more noticeable. Never happens when it's cool-to-cold out, so it's been a quiet winter. :)

I've been told it might be sway bar link bushings, and I must admit they don't look especially healthy. Still, I thought I'd ask for a second opinion here on Nico. Any ideas?

I'd say something loose in the suspension as well, since the car is FWD. I'd get up under there and give everything a good shake.
