Can I ask if you have 64k miles on this vehicle? Also, does the noise come from the front mid or rear of the car, can you upload a short video of the issue? I have seen loose rear left springs cause this issue, you can have a helper watch under the car as you put the transmission in drive and then reverse to help confirm the play in the drivetrain. I would try tightening the rear leave spring U bolts. Also, note how much the drive line rotates once the transmission in moved from drive to reverse. Let me know, Ken
