Default Clunking?

Just back from a 70 mile ride last weekend. put it in reverse and give it gas and it make's a clunking noise. Can't seem to isolate it. It won't do it if you give it gas smoothly. It will do it in forward gears also but not as consistent as in reverse. 4 wheel drive is not engaged. It is not hurting performance or handling. I'm thinking front suspension when it is loaded. Hard gas in reverse, any thiught's. Thanks[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/img]

if its still under warranty and its not a cv then most likely yes it would be covered. if you have a torn cv boot then theresa your clicking, and i doubt it would be covered but you can always ask it dont hurt.

All CV boots are good. It may be a clicking noise but it only does it when you engage from an idle. If you roll on the gas smooth, let the belt grab no noise at all. I don't notice it on the trail, I noticed it in my driveway,asphalt. I'll probably just take it to the dealer since the winch button just popped off and the winch was engaging and disengaging on it's own. Thank's again for your help.
