Check the rear engine mount. The rubber bit in middle splits and it can be hard to see it is gone. Also all the joints on the lower wishbone. The rear mount on it can also go. If it is that do NOT get a cheap replacement as the proper ones are not much more expensive. You will be back doing it again shortly!
Worth checking that drop link again. Particularly if a cheap one. Is it properly tight especially at top? There are also two bushes that attach the anti roll bar to the car. These are rubber and again can go. Cheap to replace and easy to get to if under tray off. Two bolts on each. These are well inboard of the drop link connection. Worth a check.
