If it's coming from the rear of the vehicle it's likely to be the rubber bushes in the Watts linkage.

Vote for the Watts linkage as well.
Had the same problem, but it wasn't the ARB bushes or drop links as I had
just replaced my leaking ACE system for Standard Anti Roll Bars
and the noise was still there
Replaced my rear Dampers as they were 12 years old and no harm done replacing and a lot cheaper that Watts Linkage Bushes
Noise still there
Bushes bought last week and doing the job this week.
Lie under the back of your disco and have someone rock the vehicle back and forth using the gutter rails, you should see movement in the Watts Linkage confirming if this is the problem

Not so good, I did mine on Thursday and cured the problem, I take it you didn't tighten all the nuts until the full weight of the vehicle was on the ground and if fitted with Air suspension, you started the engine and allowed to settle to height first.

I did my shocks the week before as the originals were stills on after 12 years.
Terrafirma standard ones for £56.
I also noticed that both my bump stops had fallen off, so replaced them (£6) as well
Plan on doing the Radius arm bushes next

The radius bushes when I did em weren't THAT bad, but the pain was cutting off the bolts with the angle grinder (seized solid).

Have a check of the rear wing steady thingys ...
a bracket from the wing, sometimes has the mud flap bolted to part of it...
it can corrode through - and rattle like fook ...
it's a bugger to track down
