    Ok so i have a 2010 Mazda Speed 3 and i believe i am having transmission issues when turning but i am unsure.

    Parts replaced or services done.
    1. Both CV axles and Intermediate Shaft replaced.
    2. Front Struts and Sway bar end links replaced.
    3. Transmission Mount ( Left Side) "Was replaced after video linked."
    4. Fluid Checked
    5. Alignment done.
    6. Lower control arms bushings and ball joint checked.
    7. Wheel bearings checked.

    So is there something i am overlooking ? Any advice would be gratefully appreciated. Thanks in advance.

    Kinda sounds like the u joints might be cooked but not sure on that. What sound do you get if you grab the axle with the car in the air and rotate it by hand and/or wiggle side to side?

    The sound is the popping when turning. The CV axles have been replaced. It feels like the wheel skips almost when turning along with the sound

    I would recheck the end links then maybe lean towards the differential
