My '96, Country, all stock, has an annoying problem. Upon releasing the brakes and starting to move after stopping, will give a nice clunk as you pull away. It's as if the rear axle had wound up, and now the torque of the wheels is rolling it the other way. An easy stop may give nothing, and a more brisk stop will give a nice thump. I've had my son 'brake torque' it while I watched (safely) from the side, and it seems that the axle is rolling in relation to the force exerted. Does this sound like a broken spring? The vehicle rides and handles fine otherwise, has recent shocks that are tight and I don't think are the problem. It currently has almost 130k mi., but has done this since I bought it with 104k about a year and a half ago. Thanks
