It felt like my entire rear subframe was moving each time I accelerated or reversed. So I put it up on a lift and had someone accelerate and found the issue to be the Differential mounting bushings were very worn and the mounting hardware inside the bushings was moving hitting either the top or bottom of the mounting sleeve. If you have this issue get the car up on jacks and check those bushings under acceleration. I didn't have the tools to press these bushings out so I went ahead and just bought a new diff cover with brand new bushings already on. Hope this can help someone
Thanks, I have that issue, do you have any pictures.
