Clunking from rear diff

Hello everyone

I have a YouTube link to my car on a ramp. Its making a clunking noise from the diff area.

Its an 04 sti impreza with 65k miles.

Just wondering what this could be?

Frustrating. The bolts are all ok but there was metal in the oil. I think the mechanics want to take it off and send it to a specialist. One of those things I guess.
