Front end clunking noise

I was recently stuck in the snow and while trying to get out with both front and rear ARB lockers engaged I heard a clunking/grinding sound coming from my front end.

since then everything seems fine except when I am in 4wd and I pull away from a stop or start into a sharp turn at slow speed, I hear a (1) clunk from my front end.

What have I damaged?

 

Possibly axle noise... or something internal of the front diff... spinning wheels and engaging lockers at the same time can damage things

 

I was stationary when I engaged my lockers

I thought I may have damaged something inside, but there is absolutely no grinding or unusual noise when driving in 4WD other than when I first start out or make a sharp turn at low speed

 

I guess without putting up on a lift to inspect for such noise... we’ll be guessing

 

Yep

just not sure what all I’ll need to do IOT diagnose it

I’m having the same issue and taking it in tomorrow for the dealer to take a look. There are plenty of threads about the issue though. Search around.
