I have twice experienced a sidways jolt to my 2010 Odyssey at slow speed. It first occured about five days ago as I was pulling forward out of a parking space. As I was pulling out, I was turning to the right to drive down the parking lot isle. I was about half out of the parking space when the car shifted sideways. It felt as if I had run something over, or as if the wheel lugs were loose and the wheel canted over. I got out of the car and checked but didn't find anything. When this occured, no one else in the car noticed the jolt. The next day the van was driven at speed on the highway, and around town for some errands with out it happening again. Later in the day, I was again pulling out of a parking space. This time I was backing out, but the steering input was again to the right. As I was backing out, the car again shifted sidways (lateral to the vehicle's movement). This time the shift was much greater, and it was noticed by everyone in the car. I again stopped to check the car. I checked all of the lug nuts and they are all tight. There is nothing obvious that I can see that would cause this. Any ideas would be helpfull! Thanks.

 

Its probably just a LSD inside the transmission letting the clutches jump to even out the wheel rotation in the turn.

 

Mine doesn't do that. Check both inner and outer tie-rods. May want to check the entire suspension while you're there.
