Hi

I have a Honda CRV import 1997 with 75,000 on clock and have the same problem. I have been told that it is the differential on the back axle. Not sure of the cost of repair though.

Hope this helps

Phil

Hey Phil,

So did you ever replace the differential? Did the vibration go away?

Thanks
Mike

My 2005 CRV rear differential was making a lot of noise on left/right turns. The Honda dealer suggested a rear differential fluid change despite the manuals recommendation to perform this service at 90,000 miles. The service eventually required additional work: Burnish the rear differential clutches. Total expense was around $200 which was not pleasant but better than the alternative plan which was to trade it in if the 4WD sytem diagnosis was worse. I may write to Honda concerning their overly optimistic recommendation of needing rear differential fluid changes at 90,000 miles. It makes me really wonder about their 10,000 mile oil change recommendation, etc.

My 2002 CRV vibrates on turns and acceleration...I've had the rear-differential fluid flushed with no change. The shop says that it could be a seized u-joint but the only way to confirm this is to take the whole drift shaft apart and investigate. Is there anything else it could be??

Update: CRV is currently 64,000+ miles and I am beginning to hear rub-a-dub noises again from the rear differential when the vehicle corners left or right. If it gets any louder I might have to get the fluid changed or burnish the clutches again

I have my 07' CR-V differencial fluid changed at Honda service today. The slow turning vibration is gone immediately on the test driving after the oil changed. In the test driving with technician, there was sometimes a very short vibration happened at the begining of turn. But he said it was normal. The differencial fluid change is covered by warranty, and Honda supplied update oil for this problem. So if you have a turning vibration, don't be hesitate to get this update oil.
The update oil suppose to have a interval of 48,000 Km as the technician said. I'll see how long the new oil can go. The old oil worked only 20,000 Km.
Good luck,
Gordon
