Popping, squeaking, wheels wobbling, vibrations and many other symptoms can occur when the rear axle to spindle/knuckle retaining nuts lose their clamping force.
I am seeing this almost on a weekly basis at this point, both with stock and aftermarket set-ups.
I have found that installing a new nut and torquing them to 150ftlbs + 1/8 turn with Red Loctite has been the best for myself and our project cars.
I recommend marking the nut to the shaft so you can inspect them occasionally to ensure the nut does not back-off of the threads.
