The bearing is meant to be held tightly by the rubber, but the rubber itself is pretty spongy and allows a surprisingly large amount of play. I replaced one once assuming it was worn out, and found the new one exactly the same.
If your bearing is not gripped properly by the rubber then it may be that the bearing itself is nor running freely. You certainly don't want the outer housing of the bearing spinning round inside the rubber. It would be worth checking that.

But I don't think that can be the cause of your noises. Sounds more like suspension bushes somewhere. IME the 4 torque arm bushes are the likely suspects. If they are less than perfect it lets the front of the axle casing bounce up and down, and hit the stop in the middle of the underfloor.
