Default Loud banging when launching 4x4 3dr HELP!!

I've had my 4x4 3dr for quiet a few years now. And it has been mechancially sound all that time .
Now I'm getting a major problem from the front.
It sounds like axle tramp like on a front wheel drive car but even more fierce.
It only happens under hard acceleration and launching.
Sounds like the driveshaft is banging away on something.

I instantley thought it was cv joints because there was grease leaking out. So I changed the whole front passenger side hub and driveshaft for a low milege one off my mate.

And still the same noise

then I thought it maybe the front diff giving up with play in it or munched gears. So last nite jacked it up and whipped the plate of the bottom. To be honest oil was a bit low but all the gears and teeth were fine and there was no play.

So I still have this horrible noise

just to let you know it's pollybushed all round, Collins engine and gearbox mounts, Konis, and it's not exhaust whacking the prop lol


If anyone has any ideas please help me

Cheers
