I'm cool with your MP4s, could you please do another one with 4+ unbraked rotations of the rear wheel? Before you do though, get a dry erase marker or a crayon and put a line or mark somewhere on the wheel edge so that as you do the rotation we can see a visual reference point for the sound. I might also give the wheel some hard side to side wiggles when it's up, see if you have any slop in the bearing.

Rear trailing arm bushing, while it's good to change to the solid Ford design, is probably not related to your problem. The lower spring insulator is worn and torn as was noted earlier, it also won't be related to your sound.

Few folks around here with a good idea as to the rear suspension layout, figure someone can assist with more information.

@DanyelleW
It could be a click of the propeller shaft much like this fella diagnoses in this video

Give it a listen and let us know what you think or if you already diagnosed the sound and what became of it all.

Kind of sounds and looks like the rear parking brake shoes are too tight? The shifting from grabbing and releasing is creating the noise.
