Small thud when beginning to roll

[Bronkers]

It depends on where the wheels are in rotation that I feel it but from a stop when releasing the brake I’m feeling a small thud when starting to roll. I only feel it then but after in motion not noticing anything also no audible sounds. What can this be anyone else experience this?

I think this is the clutch throwout bearing and eventually we will see a fix.

Mine does too. Not worried.

Mine does it. I’m growing to ignore it but it’s driving me INSANE lol

Mine has always done this. After nearly two years and 16K miles I'm assuming it's just slop in the drivetrain and more of a feature than a bug...

I have the same clunk as OP described. Is there a fix for it?

There’s nothing to fix, it’s normal.

I’ve been experiencing the same thing ever since the driveshaft recall was performed!

So glad I found this thread. I am experiencing this as well. Cant pin point the scenarios that it occurs. I have been underneath my Bronco for hours for the last two days. Put my eyes on all fasteners, driveshafts, motor mounts, skid plates, rear track bar, body mounts, etc. I dont see any smoking guns. I am going to try and ignore it for now.

Mine does it sometimes. If it's normal, why don't other vehicles do it? I've never driven a car or SUV with a similar "normal" behavior.

Some Leaf sprung vehicles, particularly with lift blocks would do this. Loading in one direction at stop and unloading in the other on acceleration . This may not relate to the Bronco's coilovers.

Not every vehicle is the same. It’s just normal driveline slack. More common on short wheelbase vehicles.

Driveshaft.

Not sure if ours are greaseable or not.

They aren’t. I ordered a new driveshaft, so we will see if it fixes anything or not.

I'd check rear pinion angle as well.
