Hi all!I need a technical suggestion regarding a problem with 1998 Honda CR-V,4WD,Auto,4 cyl.When drive the car ,steering pulls due to slipping differential and there is noise particularly on turning.I had a mechanic look at it who said it was the differential slipping and not the gearbox.My question is:What does that means?Is it possible to disconnect the front axcels,and keep driving as a RWD?Thank's in advance for paying attention,George.

 

I'm not sure if I follow you.

Is it possible the noise is a bad cv joint ?

You wouldn't be able to disengage the front axles since it's full time front wheel drive.

 

Actualy i haven't see the vehicle.This is everything i know.The guy just told me "there is a banging noise when driving and louder banging noise when turning, noise and steering pull came on suddenly without warning, vehicle not driven since.
"He is not a specialist,so the info is limited...

 

as in the rear differential? You need to change the fluid in it with Honda "Dual Pump" fluid. That will eliminate the noise. This is a very common maintenance issue.

It can not be driven as a RWD due to it's configuration.
