Default Strange spring popping noise on my 2015

My 2015 is making a strange noise most noticeable when making a slight right turn up a driveway. It sounds like a spring popping.

It could be many thing. Springs not seated properly, sway bar bushings/endlinks, etc. Since your vehicle is a 2015, I'm assuming you still have warranty so it might be worthwhile to head to the dealer.

Taking it in tomorrow. Probably won't find anything as the problem only happens once in awhile .

Ok, went to the dealer and the mechanic found a leaky rear shock. He also thought the brakes were little noisy so he cleaned and lubed caliper pins and pad ends, The best part was my loaner was a 2016 RX. Thought it had noticeable more pick up than my 2015. The NAV screen is bigger but harder to read in sunlight because it sits above the dash. Overall a successful visit to the dealer.
