I have a 99 Tahoe LS with a 5.7L 4x4 4l60 trans

I start vehicle. Put trans in reverse. At rolling speed after about a foot or two I hear a clunk and feel it in the front end. Brake pads, rotors/drums, calipers, and wheel cylinders in the rear are all new. I’ve drained front and rear dif with no bad signs of wear.

Occasionally I’ll hear the clunk a few times while pulling out of drive. Sound is consistent weather wheels are turned or straight.

Any thoughts? I can give more info. Thanks!

check sway bars, sway bar bushings, end links. (front & rear) sounds travel on these trucks you would swear it's coming from one place when it can really be somewhere else.

Links are good. Bushings are decent. Not new though. Any suggestions for front end kit

some people have reported good results with kits on ebay from Detroit axle but I haven't used them myself, rockauto has good prices and amazon
