Re: Is it a thump or a clunk?

When the thumping is occurring, does turning the steering seem to have any effect? Your description kind of sounds like an issue with a CV joint. When loaded, the noise is not apparent, but when unloaded, the noise is there.

If steering doesn't seem to play a role in the noise, then I'd have to suggest you focus on the auto-locking hub set up.

Changing the front differential fluid is a good idea, as you suggested you are planning to do.
