1. front wheel bearing or cv joint.
2. Prop shaft universal joint.

Maybe?

not sure abt the first one, but the 2nd one could be your ball join on the A frame for the rear. if it's not then it's the U joints on the prop shaft.

front diff? Have you checked oil? that would explain the clunk, which can be confirmed by turning the front prop shaft by hand and looking for excessive play. It would also possibly explain the grindy squeak, reversing loads the front diff, more so than going forwards, cos they is designed to go forwards u c, and on full lock its under a lot more load. Wat you rekion?
