Well, there are two modes of rocker arm failure that are known. It either spits it out in which case you will probably have a CEL for engine missfire along with other possible issues. Or the axle can slide out. I have never seen the axle issue and don't know what the exact symptoms are. I can't imagine the rocker staying in place for long if that is the case. Doesn't sound like rod knock.

Is this an MT or AT car? Have you stuck a stethoscope to the bell housing?
