Default GX470 Thug

does anyone know if there is a solution to the thug in a few GX470's. Mine has a thug and is bothering me because you can feel it as if someone just rear ended you.

Thug like a ganster? You should tell him to get out of your car - sounds like a big hassle.

Do you mean like a clunk, or bump or jerking feeling? When does it occur?

For some reason all of the GX470 doing this. It's happened at the stop light, foot on brake and car in D and then boomm. It's feel like someone just rear end to you. I don't know is the AC cycle on/off, but it's noticeable.

It doesn't happen with 'all' GXs. Mine does not do this, or vibrate like some others. Maybe that is the link to both issues?
