Would i be right in thinking he meant the prop shaft? If tere is excessive play in the Universal joints on this it could cause the knocking noises you describe also check all the springs and axle alignment whilst under there

Dodgy UJ's are a defeinite possibility, check as well that the PO didnt fit extended shackles to the back, these will lift the rover at the expense of misaligning the diff angle and the ujs will be damaged by this, and be more of a cause of vibration.
