I've got a pop/click noise on my 2006 Forester which is coming from
the front passenger side axle area but mine can be heard as the car is
backing up, braking and over uneven surfaces. The diagnosis was a
loose axle nut was causing extra play in the disc which was causing
the brakes to make noise. The nut was re-torqued and the noise is
reduced but is still not entirely gone. I think I need a Subaru
mechanic to inspect the axle. If any similar experiences please share
or if anybody can explain why an axle nut could cause so many problems
it would be much appreciated.

ABS recycling, in all likelihood. Probably does it every time you
drive the car. Can sound like a 'crunch' or 'pop'.

Does it only happen when you have reversed, applied the brakes, and at
the moment of driving forward ?
