Knocking when reversing
1.6 1990 NA Manual, when going backwards I hear what I'm sure is the diff knocking. Doesn't matter if the car is in gear or not, seems to have gotten louder recently. Possible need to check diff level?

Does the knocking get faster the more you go faster?
Initial responce - I would check drive shafts into the diff from the wheels. (I have know these to pop out from the circlip [diff end]) when driving through tall grass - grass gets wrapped around axle [From a day of gymkhana's mind!]).
Wheel nuts? These can come loose! Check the four bolt at the diff end of the drive shaft?
Is the exhaust hitting something that is rotating cuasing the knocking?
Just my two cents worth...
