Default Thumping noise from rear suspension

I have a 2017 Range Rover Autobiography LWB with 23,000 miles. There is a thumping noise that occurs only when you drive the vehicle after it is garaged overnight or not used for several hours. It will make a noise that sounds like a basketball bouncing in the rear of vehicle only for about ten seconds and then not again during that drive. Dealer could not locate any mechanical suspension issues while vehicle was on lift. I have confirmed that if the vehicle runs in garage for five minutes before driving it will not make this sound. Could this be a problem with one of the rear air shocks?

I here 3 to 4 bump/ticks on my real axel when going slow speeds up my garage floor as I live in high rise building. Seems that it might be a off road feature. Not sure. I have a 2017 Range Rover LWB.

Default Did you ever figure out what it was?

I have a 2017 Ranger Rover SC with 41k miles, and I'm experiencing the same thing.

Transfer case flush twice did the trick for me.

I have an appointment at the dealer in 2 weeks, and I will mention this as a potential fix. Much appreciated!

They ended up replacing the rear differential. Fortunately its covered under the CPO warranty.

I have a 2017 Range Rover Autobiography LWB that has the exact same noise as you described by Quickserv.
I really appreciate if you help me to understand what was the issue and how did you resolve it?
Hopefully it is not the differential.

Did they tell you what was wrong with the rear differential?
