check the handbrake drum shoes, they may have come away from back plate. This would cause a 'correction' noise on both back and forward motion. |

Thanks for the pointer but already checked those. Its definitely susension or drive related and a really loud crack. If it went crack crack crack etc I would say it sounds like a driveshaft maybe. |

Going along the suspension line ...... is it a broken coil spring ??? Check where the spring meets its mount at the bottom of the lower arm. Measure the coil spring on both sides, whilst vehicle is on level ground.

Are you reversing on lock, and if so could it be transmission wind up. It shouldn't happen on a FL2, but I know it happens on some other 4x4 SUVs. I have witnessed it in my brother's Mercedes.

That was my suspicion at first but its not that either. Fl2 has haldex unit which can give those symptoms of wind up if not serviced but thats all ok too. |

Disable the haldex - there is a fuse you can remove or just unplug it from underneath - it wont do any damage. But it will disconnect the prop shaft from the rear diff and may help to find the area at fault.
