I tried this already but will have another go.
Working the next couple of days but will do the following:

Check :
the axels again and CV joints
the tractionbar mountings
All the balljoints
Engine mounts


Not sure how to check the diff. But of its in the gearbox I will have to take the whole ting apart :?

Won't be able to do this before the dyno session saturday but might do before the first race..

Is it just at high revs or can you make it do it at low speeds?

To me...I think that'd either be engine mount(s) or diff backlash (is that the correct word?)
