I tried searching, but there can be so many reasons for popping sounds. So let me describe mine...when I put it in reverse, and ONLY with my foot on the brake I get one good POP! Then I can continue backing up putting foot on and off the brake with no more popping. After I get the one pop in reverse, if I stop and go into D with foot on the brake, it sometimes makes a pop in that direction, too, but not quite as loud. With foot off the brake, I go between R and D with no pops at all.
So here's the kicker...I first assumed that I had a worn caliper and even inspected them both and found that the driver's side could be wiggled pretty good by hand compared to the pass side which was pretty tight. Tried new caliper pins to no avail. So I did a full front brake job with calipers, rotors and pads. NO CHANGE!!! Now I'm scratching my head. What else could this be?
