When I apply the brakes for the first time while in reverse I hear this loud pop. It only happens in reverse and am almost certain it is coming from the front b/c sometimes I can feel it in the steering wheel.

Any inputs to what it might be? I am on tein ss-p with a brembo bbk. I have inspected the various components in the wheel well and non see broken/loose or leaking.

Thoughts?

Auto?

Trans type makes a big difference here but, the first thing that comes to mind is an axle or ball joint.

I'd say axle too, but didn't you have your axles replaced recently Ryan?  I'd check your ball joints, bushings, tranny, and engine mounts.

its an auto and I've had the axles replaced probably 4 or so months ago. I'll see if its my ball joints. If it were my tranny/axles then it should make a pop when I put it in drive after right?

Not always...

I noticed the same thing on my car. When I park on level ground, and there is no load on the transmission, there is no popping noise but when I do have a load on the transmission from parking on a hill, then it has a sound. The more load from parking on a steeper incline, the louder the bang.

have you checked your transmission mounts? do you feel it yank when you shift it in reverse ?

I'm sure that in my case it is not the transmission mount. I think it is the pin that slides into one of the gear when you put it in park is what I am having problems in. It is not a big deal as of now because whenever I park the car, I also pull the e-brake as this keeps the car from putting a load on the transmission.

"do you feel it yank when you shift it in reverse?"
When I do have a load on the transmission after parking it (normally it is second nature for me to pull up the e-brake but sometimes, my wife or my mom will drive it and they do not use the e-brake), I do have to put some muscle in order to pull it out of park and into reverse.

Have you checked the mount?
