clunking in 4wheel

[Johnnybaja]

So I am in B.C. for the holidays and we have been getting an absurd amount of snow. So I have been spending an bit of time in 4wheel high, and I noticed that when ever I turn hard to either the left or right I get a clunking noise coming from around the wheels I think on the side I am turning to so if I am turning left the passenger side wheel makes the sound. Is this normal in 4x4? because the front is under power?

thanks

I like to know what it is as well.
My HJ61 is doing the same, in H4/L4 but also in H2. It's only when I fully steer right or left or drive slowly over rocky terrain.
First I thought the shock absorber for the steering, but now i suspect the end of the steering column.
But maybe I am completely wrong.

I found this in a post by lovetoski

Item: Spring Noise - especially irriating while turning. Could be called a severe "clunk."
Repair: Spread top leaves apart and put grease in between the leaves.
Difficulty: Messy, but easy.
Effect: No noise anymore. Might return after lots of wet weather driving.

Needed to grease again anyway, will see what it does.
