having problem with the MDX... what could it be?

[jamchen]

alrite.. long story short... was just driving to fill up the tank...
the petrol station enforced me to make a U-turn as it is on the opposite site of the street...
the road was up-ward climbing up at the intersection i tried to make U-turn.. but when i processed to make the U-turn, just like usual step, i circled the steering wheel full right... however Serious sound and viberation came out from right-front wheel area... it sounded like the ABS was engaged so i thought it was just like that.. but i was worry about the sound so i went back to try again and this time without braking.. same thing happened!!! i now have not idea of what could be the cause of that...
what could it be?? its no way it was the calipers hitting the rims right?:thumbdwn:

edit:
it only happens to that particular U-turn... as i can't re-produce the sound at any other U-turns in both climbing or decenting conditions...

check your power steering fluid?

[jamchen]

but then why it only happened to that particular U-turn only??:S

[destrukshn]

does it do it while your turning to at a stand still?

[mrwillz]

traction control! james
:p

read the owners manual you shouldn't have the steering at full lock for extended periods of time.

The whiring sound is normal, if its not a whiring your tyre is probably hitting the fender.

:p
Because it went offroad? :p jxjx

Did you lock the steering wheel all the way in the turn?

[panda[cRx]]

in the wrong section... however it sounds similar to when the DPS fluid in hrv's + crv's degrades.

i'm not sure with the mdx as it uses vtm fluid. just pop by a dealer and have a roadtest with the foreman or service manager

[jamchen]

well it didn't happen when i full-locked the steering (only full-locked for about a sec or so)... it happened after i full-locked and start to circle left to make it straight up again... also i dun even think i full-locked in the second time..

highly doubtly it to be the tyre hitting the fender.. coz its coming from right-front wheel..

Vtecaccord: its alot louder than whiring... and also viberation to pedals...

Panda: i already changed my VTM @ 40,000km service on extra.. and the car is getting to 60,000km.. so yeah.. the VTM should be fine..

well... it doesn't happened when i entered the U-turn lane to stand still..

[panda[cRx]]

hmmm yeah then wont be vtm, get it checked out if it sounds as bad as you say

[VTECACCORD]

ur tyre is hitting the liner, thats what would cause you to feel it through the pedal.

I wouldn't worry about it

[SiReal]

if its the liner: maybe u should check to see if the liners are in place (i.e. they havent come loose due to missing bolts and plugs)

ohhhhhh im so in love with those cars!!!!!

[panda[cRx]]

this is so the wrong section to be asking for serious car help (-_-)

[jamchen]

yeah panda i know.. but i seems no mods want to shift this thread to a more appropriate one?!
well.. just an update that i went to and tried one more time and this time with 3 other passangers its GONE!!! jeez now i dun really get any clue what it might be...

not sure abt MDX but some of the 4WD will have LOW GEAR for off-road. if that have been selected, it will happen when u make a tight U-turn order to minimise the turn. thats only my experience with Pejero

try checking your rear diff (fluid)... ive had the same problem with my CRV after ive cleaned it out with 1 litre of fluid and replaced it with another litre.. the sound was gone.. the fluid might go over due.. that is wat causes the squeek..

hell highly doubtly... as i just changed my VTM-4 (rear diff) fluid @ 40,000km and the car is 3000km to 60,000km.. so yeah... but it only happens to that particularU-turn so i was thinking there might be some oil spill of something so it engaged the VSA
