Should not clunk. Have you checked to see that the pinion nut is tight? I would jack it up and turn the wheels in neutral to see if I could locate exactly where the clunk is.

Were you pushing it straight or turning at the time? Could be the sure grip "popping" if it's turning. Might need better oil or sure grip additive.
