prop? diff? possibly the loose driveshaft bolts we saw before?
Is it at one side? central?
Best to get under and have a look/shake about

Might be them pesky rear anti-roll bar bushes ( if fitted ). I had an Mondeo that sounded like Ginger Baker was in the boot with a couple of hammers, turned out all it needed to fix it was a few pence worth of India's finest.
