Default Knock from front differential
Installed an aussie locker. After climbing a big rock to test it i backed off the rock. I had a knocking sound coming from the front diff. My jeep was sitting still. I got back in and pushed in my clutch, sound went away. Drove home (about three miles) with no prob. Any ideas.
