Popping noice from left rear Hey guys. Let me know what you think.
I noticed a weird popping noise coming from the left rear of my vette a couple of days ago. sounds like metal poping or hitting each other. I had a chance to look at it today and everything else, everything is tight. Don't know what the hell is making this noise. It is only happens when backing up or coming to a stop completely. Seems like when the car stops and the suspension settles is when it pops. Sounds like left rear to me. When I got home last night I parked the car outside and when I would push down the left rear of the car it would pop, then on the right rear nothing. It would seem like when the suspension of the car would come back up that little bit it would pop. So I pull the car into the barn, and now it won't do it when I push down on the left rear of the car, however the popping noise is still there. When I drive it.
I recently installed a dte trans brace a few weeks ago, but when I drove the car then it was fine. I have not raced it or launched hard at all since I installed the trans brace. I went back to check everything I took off or loosened to to the DTE brace install, everything was tight.
Let me know what you all think. Maybe rear shock???
Thanks to all the reply!!

Thanks guys for the suggestions!!!
I went and jacked the back of the car up again. Checked every bolt and nut on both sides. On the corvetteforum and they said to check the emergency brake stuff also. Checked that stuff too. I found that the left upper shock mounting bolts were not all that tight, not really lose but just enough I guess. Lowered the car back down and no noise since.
