To build on jerryduffman post: In addition to corrosion failure (rust) you could also have a broken weld on one or more chassis mount brackets. You must inspect them carefully because the broken weld may be closed when the vehicle is at rest and you might see only a very thin crack along the weld.
Since you know it makes the banging noise when lowering a jack, the gap would probably open when the vehicle is raised on a jack. Raise the vehicle and support it with properly rated jack stands. If there are broken welds you may have a better chance of seeing them.
