growling 850 850

1995 850 wagon- non turbo: I get a growling, vibration. I believe it is coming from the rear, but as you know, these things travel. If I had a driveshaft, I would say it was like a worn U-joint or the exhaust is touching something. I checked the CV joints, no issues there. I checked the motor mounts and found no leaks and no cracked parts.
Being a 95, should I be concerned about the rear bearings? 170,000 miles. Should I change the engine mounts as 'preventive'? I don't know if it coming from the engine, but as I accelerate slowly, you can feel the vibes in the floor, with a mild growl.
Having known this car for so many years, this feeling/ sound has developed over the past one year... Any ideas?
