2016 CX-5 annoying knocking noise from front passenger side, help!



Listen carefully at 0:10 second.

Recently my cx5 got some knocking noises from front passenger side when driving in slow speed, combine with uneven road, or bump, or turning.

Notice this is a common issue with Mazda.

Found this TSBS https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2015/SB-10105646-2532.pdf .
but according this service bulletin, my vin is not in the list.

Also, found this https://mazda.oemdtc.com/122/knocki...-from-front-lower-arm-bushing-2013-2016-mazda
My vin is Type C as descried, and instructs to replace the lower arm bushing only.

However, after viewing my gopro captures, I am suspicious the sound relate to the coil spring and struct bearing, I might need to install protector as descripted in https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2015/SB-10105646-2532.pdf .

What should I go for? I am so confused here.
 
Looks to me like you're missing the sway bar link (bottom right in your video)
You can see the bar jump when the clunk sounds.
Likely contacting the control arm.
Get one of those installed and I bet your sound goes away.

Sway bar link is temporary removed, to isolate the problem. It was there before I removed sway bar link.

Fantastic video. I think you have to wrap the end of the sway bar and retest, it sure looks like it hit the control arm and made the noise.

Wish peeps would report back :). I think mine is the protector and pretty sure no warranty left, could this be a recall and should be fixed by dealer no matter what?
