If that's when you hear, have your mechanic hit the slip joint on the rear driveshaft with about 10 pumps of moly grease. That'll quiet it up. When it runs out of grease (notice I didn't say if, but when) it'll cause the slip join to "clunk" as it fully extends upon takeoff.

The "experience" only happens on cold start when I put into Drive and move forward. If I shift to Reverse first and back up there is no issue but in the same sequence when I then shift into Drive it does that bang but only when I accelerate. It feels like something is holding it back then bang it frees and we move forward. The experience is exactly like a seized parking brake to rotor when it frees, its that jarring.
No experience like you mention at all so far. I think the shoes may be inferior or previously compromised and while does not appear axle seal leaking I grabbed some OEM shoes and kit and will replace shortly. I just cant believe it could be anything else.
