Default rear end noise

when I brake rite before it stops complete I heard and feel something it pops or clicks 1 time. I got out of the car and pushing on the car up and down it doesnt make the noise when I rock the tire back and forth and push and pull it, makes the poping sound what could this be.

have you checked to make sure the lug nuts are tight? the reason i ask is my old ford trucks front end was doing the same thing and i came to find out that i was about to lose my front right tire.

mine makes noise, but i deal with it. Its a 7.5 inch 10bolt, after a few hard launches it clicks when I drive It will blow up one of these day then I can get a 12 bolt.

My last rear end was "a little noisy" - and when DTS rebuilt the 10 bolt I got three loose teeth! It's fine now : )

something is lose, check the wheels, then check the torque arm. based on the load being taken off the rear end when you come to a stop, sounds like it could be a loose torque arm or a loose wheel.

I jacked it up today because its getting to be worse the wheel is tight I put it in nutral and spin the tires cant make it happen shook it pulled on the wheels cant seem to find anything loose. Its like if im stoping or if Im braking and let off the brake I hear it like a bump or pop you know.
