okay here goes...

i have this weird popping noise when i back up... it happens if i back up too quickly and only when i engage the clutch... it will also happen in 1st or 2nd if i am running about 3-4k revs and let off the gas really quick... you know, when the engine shudders a little bit it'll also make the poppng noise. the noise is metallic in nature as well...

i have all new motor mounts, ES swaybar, steering rack as well..

could it be the control arm bushings? shifter bushing or the torque mounts? i have ES bits for all these just not the time yet to install...
