Yeah, it's definitely something that happens under load, so lifting it up won't reproduce it. That's why I was suggesting an oil change place with one of those pits. That is, if you know someone who is willing to do it.

It could be a loose suspension or frame part that flexes under the change in load force. Or it could be something in the diff.

Ok now I understand ''the pit'' I just booked an appointment in a garage who has a pit. My appointment is July 30, that was the closest I could get. Good point piper6909.
