My 2012 Volvo S60 has developed a clunking and jerking response when I go from park to drive or reverse. The problem comes and goes.

First place I’d look is universal joints if it’s AWD. Second would be motor mounts. Also full inspection of all suspension is automatic. Tie rod ends,ball joints, control arms etc.
