noise when making right turns in 2008 EX

[leafsfan]

When making right turns in my Ex I get a vibration through the steering wheel and a low rumbling sound. It feels almost exactly like making a turn in a 4 wheel drive pickup with the front hubs locked. It does not happen all the time and I've felt it with three different types of tires so it's not them. The dealer says its normal for this model but would look into it for me. it sure doesn't seem normal to me.

Not normal. Sounds like the infamous steering rack issue. There is a TSB about this issue and several posts on the topic.

zer...ationAs mentioned it is not normal. Many of us have had the fix and it's perfect now!

Thanks very much I printed the TSB on the Steering Rack and now the dealer will fix it.

I'd be VERY suspect of the dealer who you took your vehicle to: as others have said this is an extremely common issue. Why your service manager wouldn't have thought of it immediately as a possible cause is beyond me.
