Jack the car up and use a screwdriver to lever the bushes, the worn one should be fairly obvious.
It's usually the rose bushes.
There's a how-to for the rose bushes with pictures at

Make sure it's not the exhaust banging on the underside of the car or something loose in the boot/ spare wheel well.
