Default 2017 Equinox AWD LS knocking noise when turning

About a month ago my 2017 equinox AWD LS started making a knocking noise when I am turning left and right during acceleration. It sounds like I’m driving over reflectors is the best way to describe it and seems to be coming from the rear of the car . I have had a new rear axle differential put in , new CV axle and new bearings I believe and the noise is still there. We’ve taken it to 2 different mechanics and they aren’t sure what the issue is . Has anyone else experienced this . I’m going to try and attach a video I took of the noise

Default Same Problem

I am experiencing the same issue- did you ever resolve it? Making a studdering when turning at lower speeds. I read that if you pull the AWD fuse the problem will go away so it must be related to the AWD system.

so what happened when you tried it?

How many miles does it have? Have you been maintaining the AWD system regularly?
