Clunking Sound when making Sharp slow Turns. CV Axle or Transmission?
What is your question?
Hey folks,
I own a 2013 Subaru Crosstrek XV with 86,000KM and I recently started hearing a clunking sound when I make sharp right turns at slow speeds.
When I went to my local Subaru dealership, they gave me a free 30 minutes to diagnosis it and said that I simply need to change the front right CV Axle. However, after chatting with a few mechanics in my area, they said that it's too soon for the CV Axle to give out.
So I decided to take the car to a local independent shop that specializes in Subarus and a paid for a 45 minute diagnosis, the owner told me it's not the CV Axle as the clunking noise comes from the inside of the CV Axle and the Axle seems to be in a good shape so it's likely an issue with my transmission.
My car is currently 6 years old so it's out of the manufacturer's warranty but I have a 10 year extended CVT warranty. Also, the right wheel bearing needs to be replaced.
What makes this problem better or worse?

What are the best Subaru repair shops?
RepairPal Certified shops can diagnose and repair your 2013 Subaru XV Crosstrek. They provide transparent pricing with a minimum 12-month or 12,000-mile warranty on repairs and services.
I can't imagine that your clunking is coming from inside the transmission. It sounds like a suspension concern, or maybe an axle concern. Certainly an internal transaxle concern (and anything else) is totally possible, but I'd go with external component inspection and repair first.
