We've been discussing a problem where over time 4wd Elements start making odd noises and shuddering a bit when making sharp, slowspeed turns like pulling into a parking space. It seems to happen as early as 20,000 miles (as my 2004 did) The fix from the dealer has been to replace the differential fluid, although the documented replacement interval is every 5yrs or 90,000 miles.
I had been thinking that maybe the fluid or the differential were problematic, hence the early fluid breakdown... Keep us up on anything yoiu find out as you get the differential replaced on your E.
