Upon initial acceleration from a dead stop there is a "pop" sound from the rear (passenger side from what I can tell but not 100%). It's a single sound and only starting from a dead stop.

I am a few hundred miles into post new suspension (eibach pro kit and adj poly/rod bmr rear control arms) so could the suspension have "settled" causing it? Didn't happen pre new suspension and again not for the first 200 miles or so after. Everything was torqued/lubed/pinion angle/etc.

Did a search on all the 05-09 rear end rattles but didn't find anything on this specific noise.

Curious as to your thoughts.

Check to make sure you haven't popped a Poly bushing.
