Thanks, I didn’t see that. I ordered a rear one mainly just because that’s what it feels like to me. If that does nothing, I’ll be ordering the front one also.

Slight jolt when letting off brakes during take off / Auto transmission
Mine has been doing this also. My front driveshaft is getting replaced next week (not because of the issue but because of recall). Two dealers already told me the issue is normal. I will report back once it’s replaced. To me it feels like the rear.
Ya that’s what I was told, normal. Except I drove my Bronco long enough without this thump to know it wasn’t normal, until it was lol.
Just an update, I’ve had the new rear driveshaft in for about a week now. I wanted to wait a while just to make sure, but I can confidently say it has completely fixed my thump. Has not happened a single time since the replacement, and it use to happen at almost every stop/go.
That being said, I know there are some reports about front driveshafts also fixing the issue, so it’s totally a possibility that there may be an issue with both. But in my case it was the rear.

Idk what the parking break video has to do with getting a slight bump when breaking/accelerating but still good advice.
I started getting that "bump" or "nudge" not long ago. It is pretty random and dosnt happen enough that I have gotten serious about it. The best way to describe it is like a slight push into gear and it usually happens when im accelerating from a stop. and it's only in the low gears, switching between 1-4 and not going fast/low rpms. I have felt it before in my previous vehicles when the vehicle is trying to find the right gear and down/upshifts but the rpms are not ideal. So it drops/throws you into the next gear and it either grabs you or pushes you a bit. I never thought it was a problem and thought it was the Bronco doing just that.

Still all good so far, hasn’t returned

Interesting to read this thread. When in Hawaii, I rented a Cyber Orange OBX with about 30k miles on it. This jolt was one of the main things I noticed when comparing my personal 7MT with the rental.
The automatic paired really well with the 2.3 otherwise, loved the rev matching in manual shift mode.

Dealer replaced rear drive shaft on mine for this and now it is fine.
I wish the dealer will replace mine instead of always saying it’s normal. I don’t know why they always fight tooth and nail to take care of anything under warranty.

Pretty sure I have the same issue. Definitely some slack in the drive line that takes off with a bit of a thud. 37k of fairly hard miles in sport mode. I’ll assume drive shaft for now and keep an eye on it.
I haven’t looked but I’ll assume this is a sealed CV unit? I was able up grade my 5.7 GC to a serviceable u joint style. I’ll be on the look out for that as I imagine the OEM/dealer option will be over priced.
