try warming up your knees better...include a 2 warm up sets to 20 reps of leg extensions. It should help. Peace
REPS ARE ALWAYS GOOD

lol, I used to do some bodyweight squats and my knees were cracking like hell. I then found out I wasn't doing it right. I didn't stick my butt far enough and now that I do that I don't hear or feel any cracking.
