Also when the front is on uneven surface or backing up with the wheel turned. I went back through every nut and bolt making sure torqued correct. Nothing changed it. I finally thought outside the box. I could get it to do it by slowly jacking up one side. I had my brother do that while I felt for the noise. Found that the front bumper/frame crash bar would bind when the chassis flexed. Loosened up all the bolts and re torqued and noise is gone. I've read lots of threads about this exact noise with no resolution. I think I found it. There are 4 nuts on each side of the crash bar that attach to the frame that need to be checked. Mine were all way over tightened. They have never been touched before. Hope this helps some guys with this noise. I'll update as time goes and see if noise stays away.
