New MXP Steering Turned All the Way Loud Noise Coming From the Wheels Area

[ccchr]

I picked up a new MXP at the end of December, 300 or so miles on the odometer and when I have the steering wheel turned all the way left or right (usually when I want to turn around), I hear a loud thud and the car feels like it slips (as if you're running on a rock). The sound is so loud that I feel like a few more of these and something will break.

Anyone experiencing this? Any thoughts? Thanks!

This is likely the CV joints. Because of how the drive unit is mounted, the CV joints are already on the cusp of being at too great of an angle. When you turn the wheels, it exaggerates it even more and you are likely experiencing the CV joints binding.

What did the SC say? My 2023 MX had a similar noise the day after bringing it home. The SC checked it out and told me there were locking nuts not properly torqued from the factory. So far after a week the noise is completely gone.
