There is a video somewhere with the camera focused on the diff cradle while driving. When you watch this you will understand where your bang is coming from.

This is true, and it made things a lot clearer. The video was great, but I cant seem to find it either.

Changing my centre diff bush to a Superpro comfort has been one of the best mods I have done.

People are put off my the labour cost but what they don't realize is that its the side diff bushes that are the expensive ones to replace.

Centre bush is cheap to replace and MASSIVELY reduces driveline shunt for those with ZF's.

Don't we get the knock as a extra when buying these cars? Drive a manual ute if you want to hear knocks.

The thud is normal to an extent when backing off hard. Have driven other makes of car fitted with the ZF 6 and they do it too.

Agree with FG50T. Mine does it too. With new bushes, not that old donut etc. It's just how they are. One thing I did notice is gearbox fuild level I think makes a fair bit of difference to things like this. It wont fully go away but it's certainly much better with the right level. I've found this with a few ZF quirks
