propshaft uj could be giving the bad vibe,

jack the wheel up n take it top n bottom (6 & 12) & push /pull to see of you get any play,this normally shows up wheel bearings & side to side (3&9) shows TRE's

I had a similar experience on my 200Tdi - bearing failed, new stub axle & hub, £400 or so.

So when the second one started to go, I had the other two replaced pre-emptively.  The irony is, looking back I'm not actually convinced the second bearing was really failing :oops:
