Close to finding loud thunk! rear diff support

So while accelerating I hear a loud thunk on my 2003 slk32
Took it to 3 shops they all think its top related or cant figure it out with a huge teardown

I have refreshed the Trans mount the Driveshaft flex disk and am ready to go to the rear and a wise MB guy said hey did you do the

Mercedes-Benz Differential Mount Kit

I was like no

Hes like did you check the

Corteco Subframe Mounting Kit; Rear of Rear Subframe

I was like no then hes like what about

Mercedes Differential Mount - Meyle


So lol lets say you were gonna try one of the above which one would you do first! its the passenger rear and its a popping sound with going forward and when going over driveways.

mbworld choose my destiny! :0

I would change my wheel bearing first!
02 SL32 AMG 110,000 miles started with a little click, going thru dips, then a little louder the longer I drove, no noise when first starting out. Thought it was differential noise,or Axle CV joint. Changed the axle w a 320 from junk yard, then the wheel bearing. I put the stock axle back in. I was told the axle was $1150 from the stealership and out of stock.320 won't fit they said. They could not tell me what was different other than the part number.Wheelbearing was only $60 after machine shop pressed it in.
