Thanks

The "thud" is nothing to worry about.
When braking, the forces applied to the rear axle housing cause the nose (front) of the differential to pitch downward.
When you apply throttle on take-off, or even just let off the brake and idle away, the differential regains it''s alignment with the driveshaft and this is the thud you are hearing.

Lubricating rear suspension components at hinge points should remedy the problem if it concern you.

You are awesome! Thank you!

Try wetting the entire rear suspension with a hose and nozzle, saturate all components that look like they move and test drive again trying to duplicate the thud, water as a temporary lubricant.

You''ll notice too, that on a rainy day when the undercarriage is wet, you don''t hear this thud, correct....?

hmmm, not sure, It has only rained twice since I have had my Axiom... I will try to find out soon! Thanks again, I will keep this Thread posted on what i find out

The transmission light is not on...it automatically shifts nice from 1st to 2nd when I accelerate. When I ease to a slow stop there is no noise and when I ease the acceleration there is no noise. Any clues? I am thinking transmission, but that is the only symptom, but I am thinking rear end noise too.
Thanks,

The EXACT same thing is happening to my Axiom. I thought it might be the transmission but Im also thinking it may be an engine mount too. I remember my buddy had a similar issue with his car and it was an engine mount... Anyway, Did you get an answer to this question anywhere else?

Ooops! Nevermind. I didnt read both pages before I posted. Sorry!

But, did the ''water solution'' work??
