It should just as easily be shock absorbers, to be honest.
You'd have to have a look or take a photo or two.
The end plates can also shear on the end of the ARB. You'd notice this by looking.
General symptoms of a worn axle are excessive camber (cause by loose axle bearings) or 'creaking', whereas most other noises can normally be shocks or end plates, to be honest.

Have you checked the spare wheel also, as the jack is normally in there and could be bouncing around
