Clicking sound from rear suspension
Looking for some help. 1988 IROC Z Convertible, I have owned for last eleven years and is a daily driver. I have always heard a 'clicking/popping' sound coming from the rear suspension especially when backing up. Within the last two years I have replaced one rear axle and while in there I replaced seals on both sides along with the bearings and rebuilt both rear drum brakes. I have also replaced the shocks all around and sent the driveshaft off the get redone. I still get the clicking/popping, every once in a while it will click/pop when going forward... this only happens when I am going slow like when I back out of my driveway or during parallel parking.
Any help would be appreciated.

Re: Clicking sound from rear suspension
I had a small popping sound at one point from my rear suspension. Long story short, it ended up being the Lower Control Arm bolts. Have you checked them? In particular, look at the forward bolt that attaches the LCA to the frame.
