Is the noise louder when it's cold? I can tell a rod knock, from a piston slap, from a lifter from a chain because I've heard them all. I drove an 83 900 turbo with a cold rod knock for about 40k miles before it broke loose passing a truck on a two lane road one night. The newer engines are a bit less forgiving. If it's louder cold it's probably a rod knock. The fact that it goes away on decel is another clue. I really can't think of anything on the driver's side that would make the noise you describe.
