2015.5 XC60 axle ping?

[Prospect62]

Hello all, new to the forums here. Wondering if someone can help me...

My wife has a 2015.5 XC60 with 44,000 miles (70,000 km). Today she complained that the vehicle was "clunking" when shifting into "drive".

I conducted a quick internet search and found the all-new-to-me phenomenon of "axle ping", however I'm not certain if that issue applies to newer models of XC60 like our 2015.

Could you all please let me know if it's possible that this might be my issue and if so, please recommend the proper replacement axle bolt? Some have said a part for an XC90 is a better replacement? I'm alright with using a direct XC60 replacement, too.

Thank you all!

THe XC60 is not prone to this .. What you probably have is a strong "bump" when you go from N to D , if this is the case your volvo dealer has a procedure to go through to diagnose the cause .
