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. It drives fine after that initial clunk. Does not happen when starting from a stop while driving.

Brake pads, rotors/drums, calipers, and wheel cylinders in the rear are all new. I just replaced power steering pump with the EVO bypass and steering lines. I’ve drained front and rear dif, trans, transfer case with no bad signs of ware. Ball joints, links, pitman, and idler are all good. Tie rods are decent no slop.

I know I need upper control arms and bushings as well as lower control arm bushings. Could that be the issue?

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 are well appreciated. I can offer more detail as well.
