I have noticed in the past few months that whenever I am backing up and turn the wheel at the same time that there is a vibration/shaking feeling and a rattling noise. I did have the tires roated but that did not make a difference, could this be an alignment issue or suspention problem? Last year at this time a large tree branch fell on top of the car but did no damage to anything but the roof/top of the car so I do not believe that the tree could be related.

Hi shorty82780,

From the symptoms I suspect it is the rear differential.

There is a technical bulletin on it.
Get it checked at Honda.
