----PPF ?? Knocking from the rear with pics

Ok Ive tried searching but I cant specificly find anything about my problem.

Ive had knocking going on beneath the car in the back for little while now and I finaly found something that might be the problem.





Is this the PPF? What do i need to do to fix this? What am I really looking at?

thanks for all the help in advance

You are looking at the PPF and a body brace in the back. There should be about 1-2 inches under the body brace. The problem is your differential bushings are shot. Test - Try to spin your rear tires. If they hop badly its the bushings. If they spin with no hop something is not aligned correctly.
