cracked chassis/broken sub-frame mount - look in the FAQ section. Rear diff mount.

Definitely a cracked chassis. Lie underneath and get a friend to drive back and forwards across your prone body until you are dead.

Will be the rear diff mounts. There's a pair of side mounts (one either side) and a central one. Get the 3 mounts from eBay to save some cash over the dealer parts.
We had to drop the rear subframe to gain access to the diff, then found one mount point (OSF of the 4 bolts) had corroded around the hole which was causing a rattling sound. Removed the old metal and popped a new plate on there, all good now!
