Default Popping sound

Today I noticed a popping sound that seemed to be coming from the rear. How do I determine if it is the axle's from lowering the car or maybe axle nuts?

It's probably just your exhaust rattling around. I don't know how to find out without looking.

does it click when you begin to move, and click on a turn?

If so, most likely it's a loose axle nut. I've got an extra nut that hasn't been chucked if you want it.

A pop every once in a while, cannot always here because of the exhaust. So it might be happening more often than I can hear.
