I had the same issue. After changing all diff bushings to Figs, no more thump when taking off and feels much more responsive.

i thought it was the bushings. but it turned out to be my custom rear upper control arms.
i use to have -13 camber in the rear. and it made them crack.

Sounds like you were binding the axles and that's what stressed the rucas. Hope they weren't super expensive
