Any chance this is just the old shim-the-center-bearing fix required? Spelled out in a Volvo technical service bulletin, you have to shim the center bearing up or down a bit (up to 5/8" or so) with washers to better align the driveshaft. One direction involves washers between the bearing and the bracket while the other needs washers between the bracket and the body. Something like that. This sure took car of a driveline knock on acceleration in my 780 but it has been about 5 years since I did it. I remember the only fix was by trial and error. Sure saved me the cost of baring and u-joints.
