Default Front axle clank in 4WD

About three weeks ago I replaced the driver side front cv joint and wheel bearing on my 1996 grand Cherokee. That went smoothly. Three days ago I shifted into four wheel drive and started out to a series of clanks and bangs they stopped at about 20 mph and were back again when slowing to a stop. Shifted into 2wd and the noise is gone. Any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks

Did you torque the axle nut properly?
