HELP!!! Knocking and vibration not from CV joints

Help!!! My 89 Cabby is knocking and vibrating even at low speeds, 10-20mph. Gets louder and knocking faster when accelerating. Have changed both inner and outer CV joints and replaced front engine mount but although there's a small improvement, the vibrating and knocking still occur, but a little quieter.  :banghead:  What else can be causing this, I want it sorted but with limited funds I can't afford to buy parts if it's not going to sort out the problem. Any help most appreciated.  :banghead:

When the gearbox in my GTI finally expired at @190,000 miles the symptoms were very similar to a failing knocking CV joint. Drain the oil from the box and see what come out, dark over heated oil or fresh clean oil? Any metallic bits?

The trouble with doing nothing is that you never know when you are finished.
