Actually, it sounds more like the anti-lock brakes "self-test."

It's just one "klank" kind of sound coming from somewhere low in the car, correct?

The big question would be whether it happens when you put the car into reverse, or whether it happens while you're moving -- you might let us know about that. If it happens when you're moving, that's probably the anti-lock brakes "self-test."

If it happens when shifting into reverse, I would recommend trying this technique:

1. Release the parking brake, with the transmission still in Park. Presumably, you have your foot on the brake pedal while you're doing this.

2. Step off of the brake pedal, letting the car "settle," and then put your foot back on the pedal.

3. NOW, go ahead and put it into reverse.

In other words, let it "settle" before putting it into reverse.

Good luck!
