Yeah, mine does this too at slow speed turning 90 degrees into driveways for example. It's more of a twanging kind of sound (tension being releaved).

Has the centre diff been in the open position when these sounds have been occuring? Coz in my experience it's doing tight turns at slow speed with the diff semi-locked that produces more of a loud knocking.
