I recently acquired a 2015 CX-5 with 225,000 miles. Runs and drives great but did notice something odd after I purchased it.
Low speed parking lot maneuvers, only in forward gear, not reverse, when making a sharp turn/90° turn, there's a thumping sound from the rear. Almost seems as if the rear differential is engaging or something is up with that but otherwise I have no issues driving this thing forward or reverse otherwise.
I did happen to come across something when searching on Google about bushings for the rear differential as a possibility and did find that aftermarket supplier rock auto does stock these, so it leads me to believe that this is something common.
Thoughts?
