Cyclical metallic knocking noise....CVs or Mounts?

2002 Viggen with complete new suspension, older GS poly sport mounts on trans and motor. Transmission is also only a couple of years old with Quaife LSD.
Car is pretty quiet when cold but as it's driven a bit it starts with this metallic knock, knock, knock that increases with road speed. Gets louder when de or accelerating or when turning corners. Started very faintly at first 3 days ago and now it's scary loud. I've checked the drive shafts and they seem tight however I noticed that the Genuine SAAB transmission mount appears to have 'melted' with the blue poly kind of oozing out. Could this be the cause....the engine having dropped thus eliminating the lateral play in the CVs?
Thoughts???
