Default clunk/crack suspension?

this problem happens quite regularly esp when cold. I notice it mostly after backing up or during K turns. Ill lock the wheels In One Direction and when i start of pull forward (with the wheels locked) ill hear a crack/ clunk noise ... The actual sound happens once like something moves that's not soposed to then iT drives normally (not so good ) any help?

Had the same clunking noise. Ended up being the torque arm bolts were loose on the rear end, allowing it some play when moving from reverse to a gear or vice versa. Give that a try. Otherwise maybe look at the torque arm bushing?
