Slight poping noise when changing forward to reverse

   Popping is an unusual description of a noise..... Is it a single POP or multiple POP? Did it do it before the oil changes? Fact that it is doing it fwd to rev - check all driveshafts, wheelnuts, rear axle mounting bolts.

   Just a single pop It did that before and after all the fluid changes the good thing almar is that the brakes stoped sqealing after the fluid change

   I have seen driveshaft universal joints make that sound. All of them were caused by not greasing them. Most of them had to be replaced.

   Thought of something else godinez - is there much play at the front axle pivot? If you raise the front wheels so they are just touching the ground - get out & rock the front wheel/axle fwd & back - sometimes they need another spacer fitted to take out excess movement. That would make what I call a CLUNK than a POP, but still worth a look.

   If it only does it in one direction, going from fwd to rev, no noise vice versa, be sure and check engine mount isolaters.
