Dardandec 32 #2 Posted September 5, 2021 If it is a knock/drag/judder effect from the rear when turning, it will need the rear differential fluid changing. It is a common fault on Cr-v's and depending how bad it is, it can sometimes need changing 2 or 3 times to fully rectify, although it does improve on the first go. Depending on the year of the car make sure you use the correct fluid. Early ones (Like late 90's) are ATF and the later ones are DPS (Dual pump system) fluid.

Victor Meldrew 33 #4 Posted September 6, 2021 Yeah, I had this exact problem with our CR-V Mk.3. One diff fluid change solved the problem. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Jim117 72 #5 Posted September 7, 2021 Dardandec, I have a pretty old but well maintained Forester that was getting a bit clanky on full lock. Had the left front driveshaft changed which has helped a lot, apparently cause it’s a flat 4 the exhaust eventually cooks the joint. Still got a bit of noise though so I was wondering if your previous advice re transmission oil might also apply here. Assuming there’s no “sealed for life “ BS going on.

The fluid in the Honda DPS system is prone for absorbing moisture, which causes the drag/judder effect through the DPS system. I am not familiar with the drive train on Foresters, but it is more likely to be a suspension noise, maybe even the lock stops being dry. Not 100% sure, but have got it in my head they are external on them (Don't hold me to that) but if that is the case a little grease on them will cure that. If they are external they are just part of the front hubs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
