Default suspension binding in reverse?

Has anyone experienced their suspension binding up while at full lock in reverse? I noticed tonight coming out of my driveway, that it felt like something was binding and popping in the front end of my car.

I'll be checking with the dealer tomorrow, but i wanted to see if anyone else noticed this before. I tried it again in a parking lot and in reverse, at near full lock, something is binding up. It feels like you are running over something too.

Mine did that as well last fall. I had it on my lift and couldn't find any tire rubbing. I am going to say it was a caliper / brake pad issue. It was VERY noticeable. I had the technician standing beside the car when it did it several times, but they could find no problems when they pulled off the wheel. To top it off, they charged me for labor because there was not a problem and they pulled off the rim. Pissed me off, even though the technician agreed there was something wrong.

Interesting. If it were the tires, I would expect it to happen in forward as well as reverse.

g356gear - How did you end up resolving your problem? My dealer has always been pretty good, so hopefully, they will just take care of it for me. Of course, someone decided to hit and run my other car, so now I have to get that taken care of before I can drop of the IS-F. At least it was the Ridgeline that got hit and not the ISF.....

This happens to my car as well in going forward and in reverse. It seems to only happen with me though when my car has been sitting for awhile, but ya it feels like you are running over something.

I actually think it's a wheel angle thing. Different angles forcing one of the wheels to "pop" into place.

It's the tires. You can make it happen both forward and reverse. It's not unusual at all with high caster suspensions.
