Have an automatic 2005 CRV with 30000 KMs. Getting a whining noise from rear especially when drive at 80KM/H. Took to dealer and they replaced right rear wheel bearing, they said they tested and whining noise gone. Just took vehicle the vehicle on highway and the noise is still there. Sounds the worst at 80KM/H and up.

Any ideas? Could it be the rear end/differential?

it probably is the rear diff (older models had a rear diff problem) . take it back to have them take a look at it again. they didn't solve the problem so it should be treated as a "comeback" and you shouldn't get charged for any additional repair.

Suggested Repair

Return the vehicle to the dealer as a comeback for reinspection of the rear differential, the likely source of the remaining whining noise. Further diagnosis or repair should not be charged because the wheel-bearing replacement did not fix the problem.

Conversation Summary

The owner of a 2005 automatic CR-V with 30,000 km reports a rear whining noise that is worst at 80 km/h and above. The dealer replaced the right rear wheel bearing and said the noise was gone, but it returned on the highway. The expert says the rear differential is the likely cause, noting a similar problem on older models, and advises taking it back as a comeback so additional work is not charged.
