I would think you need to check the brake system or the wheel bearings on that wheel.

While I'm driving my 2001 Chevy zr2 in four wheel drive there will be aloud banging noise from under the truck that sounds likes it's coming from the passengers side! I changed the vacuum actuated and the actuated under battery tray , u joints,axle fluids, and it still makesthat loud noise after driving it for about five minutes, aanyone else had thisproblem any help would be appreciated

Check the U-joints this will give you a thumping sound by running
out of round. Banging on bottom of car.
The noise in the rear could be a bad wheel bearing, I had that
happen when the race of the bearing came apart.

when you hit a small to large bump you hear a banging rattling thumping noise that is the strut

strutts bad

Sounds like you may be having an air conditioning compressor mechanical failure. I would suggest seeing a mechanic soon before it locks up the belt if the bearings fail in it.

wheel bearing and probably a few bushing are bad

need an eyeball inspection when off the ground

broken exhaust mounts
shock /strut tower failure
*
these not normally cause a metal to metal banging noise
lower swing arm arm bushes
hub bearing
rear brake pads worn to metal

It could be your subframe as well big problem with E36's. Also you can check your Rear Shock Mounts in the trunk by removing the carpet, they are under the speakers. Also check your brake pads, the little shim could have fallen off causing your brake pad to rattle over bumps. And check all your heat shields.
