I just got back from driving the S2K and noticed that everytime I start moving in first gear, I hear a creaking/rattling noise coming from the back of the car. Sounds like it's coming from the back wheel. I hope this isn't a differential problem

Can anyone diagnose this problem, or is this just normal??

 

I don't recall thinking it was anywhere around the back wheels, but I hear something that sounds a little like a rattling heat shield - is that what you're hearing? I hear it if I'm starting slower - if I give it more gas to keep the revs up as I slip the clutch out it goes away.

it's probably the drive splines in the wheel hub ........ needs greased ..... kind of a pain to do ......

 

i had this problem as well. i went to the dealer and fixed it. not a big problem, they said. on the invoice, it says,

" A noise in rear end area of car when accerlerating from stop
16 replaced spindle nut and grease

Thanks guys. I'll take the car into the dealer next week. Hopefully, it'll be an easy fix.

I'll let you know what happens.

 

By the way, how much did they charge you for this service, or was it covered under warranty???

Should be warranty if your is still alive

 

I just got back from Santa Monica Honda. They did the spindle fix and the creaking sound is gone. The tech that worked on the car actually showed me a newsletter that talked about the problem. My service adviser said that he had another car in for the same problem.

 

Hey Mark.

Glad to hear that your baby is all A OK. Thanks for the update.
