So I have only noticed this in the snow. Since I don't do much of it but when I a wot turning in the snow I'll get a chatter on the front tire that is on the side being turned to if that makes sense. It kinda hops and will sometimes make a clank. And only does it I think in a sharp turn in that moment. My knuckles sit very close to 0 degrees if that matters.
 
What? Cmon bruh

You gots a 4x4 that wheel hops when at full lock when in 4whl drive just like the rest of us
 
If you got U joint axles in the steering knuckles, you're gonna have crow hop.

it's like a driveshaft being our of phase. Except its the tires that are speeding up/slowing down with each rotation

Drive shaft velocity

this video explains it the best, and you can hear the speed differences
 
Oh funny I didnt know it was called crow hop. I just wanted to make sure I didnt have another issue. I have been happy with my link geometery. So I wasnt sure what it was.
