05 mountainer thump thump thump..help

[dt813]

My wife has an 05 mountaineer AWD v6. it's been a good truck until the last 3 months. lol nothing major. I replaced both front wheel bearings in Novemeber, then altinator in december. now when you turn sharp and accelorate backwards or forward it makes a thumping noise. thats the best way to describe it. there is also loud road/tire noise. The tires are not new but not wasted either. Due to the AWD i was a little skeptic about just changing the CV joints so i did some research since i am not familure with AWD and after reading many posts here (which is what caused my joining) and talking to people i changed the CV joints last night. (1-5) aaaand the outcome was. yup you said it, CV joints were not the problem.lol i am Mechanicaly inclined i do my own work. its the diagnoisis i have a problem doing.lol normal stuff i am pretty good at figuring out. When i had it all tore down the ball joints, tie rods ect..looked and felt good. So i am wondering what the chanced of it being in the TC. Thanks in advance for any assistance on this matter and happy new Year
