When I turn the wheels more than about half way and give my '05 TL gas, there is a slipping noise that comes from the front end. I thought it was a U Joint problem. Acura replaced both front drive axles both that didn't fix the problem. Has anyone else experienced this kind of problem?

 

A slipping noise?
Like a belt squealing?
Can you describe the noise and exactly when it happens, and when it goes away when it does happen a bit better?

 

It looks like the problem has been solved. I brought it back into Acura and after much thought they decided it was a tire problem. When I have the wheels turned all the way, the outside wheel is trying to turn at a different speed than the inside wheel. It seems that when my tires are cold (first thing in the morning), the out side wheel doest't have enought traction to stay stuck to the ground and it slipps a little bit. We (me and the Acura mechanic) found this out by putting brand new, high-end tires on the front drive wheels. Once the new wheels were on we couldn't get the car to reproduce the problem. We then put my wheels back on and the problem was back. I never thought it could be a tire problem but it seems to have been. He also said that the problem is made worse by the fact that I have the manual tranny. Because of this I have a bit more power at the wheels which makes the problem worse. Does any of this make sense?
