yes you are correct sorry got muddled when explaining, but it is still that partictar shield i am refering to, it taps against the center bearing beacuse it has, at some stage been misshapen!
Mctaff, all the symptoms you have described are absolutly identical to mine!!
When you go over bumps the heat shild bumps against the center baring, when you back off, the vrbration also causes it to tap the center bearing, mine got so bad it became constant (driving round with out the cat back exaust didnt help  ), the only way i found it was by jacking up the car, lying underneath it and "jiggling" the rear drive shaft back and forth!
I would sugest giving what i say ago before you go forking out money to get things changed!
Im not a beting man myself but give it ago.... cheack out the diagram!

Had basically the same, wasn't until they put it onto a hoist and had the wheels turning that it was picked up, original thoughts were that it was something loose in the front r/h brake, then something in the cat, and then some other thing which I didn't quite catch. Mech just reached up and bent it. Pure pleasure to drive after that.
It appears that I have done it again, I will have to slow down a tad on those dirt roads.
