Default Odd sensation while turning at speed

We have an odd ping pong/loose feeling when going 57+ mph around a curve. Seems to be more when you turn left. Vs right. We just purchased the CX 50 and are new to Mazdas so are trying to figure out if this is normal

That is a term describing a vehicle concern I have never heard or read anywhere ever. LOL

If you are maybe stating clicking and clucking then either way you need to get a service shop to do a chassis and suspension inspection A.S.A.P.
Don't second guess or read that it may be ok. No one can state that without physically inspecting your Mazda. Oh and knows what they are doing.

Not sure how to describe it. It feels kind of like the lane assist is pulling you but the lane assist is off. The ping pong reference is the back and forth sensation. No clicking or noise at all.

This is a safety issue and I am advising you to go to a service station and have your Mazda looked at .
Please read my signature below.

Because to are in USA either go to Mazda or look for a Firestone or ASE certified service shop in your area.

After the test drive and the tech putting the vehicle on the lift he determined it was the rear passenger wheel bearing. They ordered the bearing and we got notified today that the car was ready to pick up. Hopefully, that fixes the problem but it seems odd that a wheel bearing would go after only 20K miles. It looks like they've only replaced the one not both. We purchased this CX50 at the end of February and it has been back to the dealer twice - the first time was an odd undulating sound in the rear end and Mazda replaced the rear differential and now the wheel bearing. This car was leased by this dealership and sold by this dealership after a 1.5 yrs. I'm hoping we did not purchase an ongoing problem. The dealer has had the car more than we've had it in our possession. The differential took a month two weeks of trouble shooting and two weeks to get the differential from Mazda. I will post a final conclusion once we pick up the vehicle.

Picked up the car yesterday and the problem seems to be resolved. They only changed the one rear passenger wheel bearing and said the drivers side was fine.
