re-torque your axle nuts to 220 lb/ft.

I have that noise also It started shortly after I installed my KW V3 coilovers so I thought it was something with the helper springs. Mostly comes from the driver side rear. Never noticed it going in revserse though.

Does anyone know the TSB that covers this?

TSB 011201 Rear Axle - Single pop or creak from rear of vehicle

Found it

Single click or pop - retorque axle nut to 220 lb/ft


multiple clicks when starting from a stop in first gear or reverse - the axle splines are dry and need to be relubed.

if you take the rear wheel center cap off, you'll see the axle nut. it's 36mm
