If the original wheel bearings have been replaced in the past, you may get a thump from the wheel when backing up. Some shops don't shim the bearing to keep it from sliding laterally in the housing and when backing it slips and makes a sound. My right side does this. It's harmless, so unless your bearings are making the telltale groaning when driving forward, don't worry about it.
Test it by reversing while turning to one side - if you hear the pop from the opposite side, you have your answer. Post back with results...but next time use a "." every now and then, it helps us literate folks understand what you are trying to communicate :)
Good luck.
