I bought a 2012 Santa Fe Sport AWD, about two months ago. Just started getting a thump/sound coming from the rear of the car, when I accelerate from a complete stop. It only starts to make the noise after the vehicle has been driven for a bit and has warmed up. It only does it from a complete stop, at first I thought it might be a caliper hanging up but I came to a stop without using the brakes, then when I accelerated, I heard the thump.
I replaced the differential fluid, with no change. The odd thing is I DO NOT get the thump, if I have the AWD engaged. That sorta puzzles me because if it is the differential, you would think it would make the issue worse. Some other things I have notice it rarely does it on turns and sometimes it worse then other times.
I am leaning towards checking the drive shaft u-joints and checking rear cv-shafts.
Wondering if anyone has had this issues....
Thanks...
