Default Front end clunk

Hey so I’ve been going crazy trying to figure out this clunking noise coming from the front end of my 2019 f150. It’s coming from the front driver area or so I believe. It only occurs when I go heavy on the gas and breaks the rear loose. Especially noticeable when driving in snow or loose gravel and the rear spins out??? Also does not matter if truck is in 4wd or 2wd. I never notice it driving day to day on pavement but I live in Montana where plenty of our roads are either snow covered or dirt. I hear the noise enough to be concerned. Anyone have a clue as to what this could be?

Could be loose strut, loose tie rod, loose sway bar end link, could be a loose something else. Need to crawl under there and inspect. Check the strut, sway bar end link, and tie rod bolts for proper torque. German torque spec Gudentite should suffice if you don't have the specific torque numbers.

Welcome to the forum btw. Feel free to post some pics of your truck for us.

What artsr2002 said plus I would also check the lower ball joints for looseness.
