Front wheels popping noise reverse only. new cv,'s

Post by rick82 » Fri Mar 18, 2016 6:26 pm

I have got a metallic kind of popping/crunching noise when I turn in reverse on the front offside. I have replaced both outer cv joints, drop links and top wishbone bushes. There is no movement in the wheel when I jack it up and can't replicate the noise when jacked.
Also sometimes when near full lock driving forwards at slow speed it feels like the front is jumping or skidding forward

Could it be a wheel bearing even though there is no movement in the wheel?
