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.

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.
