My 07 Honda Accord has an occasional popping and clicking sound. It happens most when I’m in reverse and cutting the wheel into a parallel park. My mechanic thought it was a transmission issue and did a transmission flush…but it’s not happening when I’m switching gears and it seems and feels to me like it’s more in the body of the car. Thoughts?

Does this happen, even randomly, while going forward also? Sounds like failing CV joints on one of the halfshafts.

I agree that this is most likely to be an indicator of a failing CV joint.

Popping noises from the transmission?  
Not likely.
