When I bought the car approximately a year ago, it made a rubbing/vibrating sound when I either turned the steering wheel all the way to the left or right while I'm driving (pretty much like driving in a circle). Now it's starting to make the rubbing/vibrating sound when I make simple left and right turns. Anyone know what the problem might be? Thanks in advance.

 

Do a rear diff service.. it will go away.

 

I would suggest you to get your car checked by a good mechanic.he can tell you what's wrong.

 

It most likely needs the rear diff fluid changed. If it's real bad, changing it a couple times may be required to get rid of the vibration/noise.

 

yea, what others have said - its the rear differential fluid.

Same thing happened to my mom's '02 crv. after the fluid was replaced, the problem went away.

 

...and you need to use ONLY Honda Dual Pump Fluid:



Buy 2 quarts. It takes just over 1 quart to fill the rear diff.

 

BTW:

I (and others) are assuming you have a 4WD Element. If it's a 2WD element then it's back to the drawing board for ideas on your noise/vibration...
