hi guys.
hopefully someone can help shed some light on this problem.
on acceleration from a cruising speed {so hard acceleration} you hear a sudden bang come from the back and the same if you quickly take your foot off the throttle.
i have also noticed after its been reversed then driving forward sometimes you get a loud bang / knock that you feel through the car.
i do lots of mway miles its a 2011 swb commercial with over 200,000 on it now.
the diff is super quite no humming whining.
it sounds feels almost like the diff mounts have gone and the diff is moving in its mounts but the bushes look good and i cant see any movement in them.
any help in pointing towards this problem getting sorted will be great.
thanks rick

Put it on a 4 post ramp, get someone to stand on the brakes and select reverse/drive/reverse while idling with some one watching underneath. If it is a manual simply go from reverse to 1st and back to reverse. I could give you a list of possibilities but I would probably run out of ink.

thanks for that.
i did do that last year but its worth trying again now the noise is getting louder it might be more visible where its coming from.
