I can see that. I have always sensed that the abruptness and completeness of the sound/shudder is the result of a release of some kind of "stored energy" somewhere in the rear differential/axles.
Appreciate your digging into the matter. Very interested to see what the dealer will say. And I will definitely share the results.
