I recently had the same problem, and LR traced the source to a worn main bearing in the driveshaft. Not sure what they ment, but it was either the bearing in the VCU or the two support bearings on the driveshaft. Either way its related to the driveshaft

passed the tipex test.took it 2 the local bupa, they said it was fooked wheel bearing, so after quick surgery no more noisey rear
