    Sounds kinda like something is loose, maybe a bad bushing or bearing or engine mount?

    Had a similar thing on my focus , I changed suspension arms gearbox engine mount brakes etc I the end I changed the drive shafts and oil seals thinking it may have been a Bearing or CV joint, that cured the problem not sure what it was though but 1 thing I did notice was that when I replaced the N/S shaft there was play between the spline and gearbox and that play was less with the new shaft, hope this helps

    But before I found the fault I sprayed silicone grease on different parts one at a time until I found the culprit
