Default Knocking noise - road speed related

Fix one problem and another appears.....

One the 'new' V70, it's just started developing a knocking noise that's road speed related and only audible below 40ish mph. Clutch in/out makes no difference.

I've checked the hub bolts, both are tight.

Can't seem to replicate it in the drive on axle stands. I've noticed there is more lateral movement in the offside drive shaft than on the car I'm selling, could this be a clue?

Any suggestions on next port of call? Could a CV joint knock under normal driving, rather than on tight turns?

Assume that after fixing the engine problems, it's now developing power/torque as it should and has stressed something on the transmission.

Car is an '03 V70 D5 (manual) with 202k on it.
