I already previously successfully addressed the cowbell noise with a new guibo and CSB, however the CV joint is still original.

To me, it seems like this should be a differential bushing failure, but looking at them from beneath the car they don't look to be obviously beat up or cracked.

What other things could be a likely cause of this?
Internal diff gear wear, engine mounts, subframe mounts, etc?
