HELP: Pop when turning in reverse
Hey I have a 2005 c55 amg I bought with 19k miles 3 months ago. Now at 26,000 miles when the car has been sitting in the cold and I reverse and turn the wheel there is sometimes 1-3 pops that can be heard and felt throughout the car. Only happens the first time you reverse after sitting in the cold then it won't occur again. Any ideas?

I had some similar noises arise a few months after I bought my car as well. I was really worried that it was going to end up being the trans. Turned out when I took it to the dealer there was a leak at the sensor on the backside of the tranny, it needed new bushings front/rear, and they also found a small oil leak on the motor while in there. They took care of all of that and no more weird noises.

I've not figured it out yet, but I have the same noise. I only get it on first start. It's always when the engine is cold (not "cold" as in frozen - I live in Houston). It happens after backing out of parking spot and seems to happen just about the time I tap brakes and shift from reverse to drive. It sounds kinda tinny on mine. Could be calipers shifting?

I have always had a strange metalic clicking noise when reversing or loading and unloading the drivetrain substantially. It soulds like it's coming from the left rear axle- parking brake parts? Who knows. I took the shop forman for a ride. He heard it and had no clue. They torqued everything down and still makes noise.
