A loose axle nut is one of the reasons you can get popping in the rear. If that's the problem you can remove the wheel and retorque it.
Another reason popping occurs is due to a dry axle spline. You can pop off the half shaft out of the gear box and grease it. Could be the outer spline but more often it's the inner.
