rattling rear eand of 87 240 b230f 200

the last time i was on here i had a starting issue... fixed! wiring problem. well something else came from the initial disaster - i got a ratlling rear end. i've pulled the axle shafts out to check the outer bearings - light on grease but they spun rather freely so i just repacked them and reassembled. problem still persists - occassionaly on torquey take offs - possible bad link bushing? but the symptoms only promote that idea once in a while... while traveling over 35 mph the rattling increases with speed - note: i've noticed that the center support bearing rubber mount is allowing the bearing to sag a bit and can be moved up and down by hand with minimal force and the lower spring is protruding (purchased new bearing and rubber donut)... other than that everying apears fine; it's just that the interior is being rattled to to sound like a damn spanish gallion - anyone experience this? cuz i'm tired of looking in my rear view mirror at night and thinking there's 4 sets of headlights behind me when i'm being followed by just one car
