How many miles on car? My old CV started doing that when turning sharp right or left AND going over a bump. It had a lot of miles on it, though, around 200K.

Ended up being the upper control arms. They would literally slide back and forth on their pivots, the bushing were completely toast. It took three mechanics before someone figured it out. It was really annoying, and REALLY embarrasing when I had passengers, or other people were outside. It was really squeeky/creaky.

Yikes. I'd be looking for something else, then. :o

I hit a curb not going very fast while turning around today, was going 3 mph maybe? Marauder is a bit bigger than I thought, or maybe the corner where I made my U'y was a bit tighter.
Any thoughts.

If this was a normal height curb, I would guess that something was bent or knocked out of alignment. I am surprised that you didn't scuff the front bumper cover and foglight enclosure.

As to thoughts .... maybe try practicing this same maneuver in a Corolla and working up in size until you get a better handle on judging the MM. :o
