Sharp "Crack!" when car is twisted

When I turn up a steep ramp (e.g. sometimes when turning into a parking lot), I hear a sharp "crack!" sound. Actually maybe more like a loud "Knock!" sound from the suspension or chassis. If the 2 front wheels "go up" at the same time, e.g. like going over a speed bump at right angles, then there is no sound. But the sound occurs when the car is "twisted" e.g. if you go over a speed bump at an angle or up that steep ramp at an angle.

I'm thinking a bolt is just sligtly loose and thus when the car is twisted, there is some movement in the pieces of the suspension/chassis/frame.

Anyone else experience this? Is there a quick fix? Pay someone to torque/tighten all the bolts he can find in the bottom of the car? Is there specific torque settings for each bolt or could someone just take an air wrench and go nuts?
