I hear a clunk in the rear of my 2005 SRX intermittently when I break or make a turn. I can't determine what is causing this and it does not happen all the time. Has anybody else had this experience and, if so, how did you resolve it?
Thanks,

If it is a rwd version, the rear axle may need some limited slip lubricant added.

Hello Inline6

It's an v6 awd, but thanks for your suggestion.

Sounds like the limmited slip coming in and out. I just picked up an SRX and noticed the same thing especially when it's cold.

Did you ever resolve the clunking issue? I have a 2005 AWD that is doing the same thing, especially in cold weather.
