Okay, back on topic, had a similar sounding problem in another vehicle (not a Tri) and turned out to be as AG suggested, worn engine mounts.

The other common culprit is bash plates. If they get bent, even just a bit, they can cause noise as the chassis flexes.

If it does turn out to be bash plates then I just spaced mine out about 3mm from the mounts. That was enough.

If they are the same is it purely the wagon body that reduces the chassis bending issue as the springs would be located in the same spot that is seen as the cause of the problem in regards to airbags wouldn't they?
Only the front half is the same. From the rear door back they are completely different and, of course, the Challenger doesn't have much overhang behind the rear wheels. The chassis wouldn't have the same flex as the Triton, but then it wouldn't need to. No doubt the body contributes to stiffness as well.
