Just upgraded the brake system and...pop and catch

[DMX512]

As the title states
I just re-did the brake system, rotors, calipers and pads, and now I have a pop and catch in the rear end.
At first it was only in reverse but now it is only in forward.
Any thoughts or advice?
Thanks In Advance.

Possible loose shoes/parts in the E-brake??

Narrowed it down to passenger rear.
When torqued it will catch. When loose, on floor Jack / Jack stands does not exhibit same symptoms.
Continuing to investigate.

Parking brake.
I had tightened it, and then got is as loose as I could, while removing the rotor.
Somehow during the installation of the new rotor something changed that adjustment.

So are you saying you have readjusted it and solved the issue?

When you put a new rear rotor on you will always have to adjust the parking brake to get it just right, especially after having to back the parking brake shoes off/away to remove the old rotor, parking brake brake shoes aren't self-adjusting like disk brakes are.

Same thing happened when I did my 4th gen to 5th gen brake swap.
I changed all of the parking brake hardware, but the noise continued when I put it in reverse. Even after I thought I had it properly adjusted. Took everything apart, readjusted it again and the problem went away.

Thanks for the replies and input one and all.
I thought I had it fixed by re-adjusting the parking brake but the problem happened again today.
I think it was a combination of two things.
Parking brake adjustment and uneven torque in the lug nuts and the new rotor not centering or perhaps a bit out of plumb, if that makes sense.
The symptoms seemed to only appear when the wheel was on the vehicle. I removed both rears this morning and carefully ran all of the lug nuts on finger tight, moving the wheel slightly up and down and left to right as I finger tightened the lug nuts. Then tightened them, lowered the vehicle, and re-tightened all the lug nuts.
Seemed to do the trick....for now.
