    My honda crv makes a grinding noise when turning
    The noise only occurs on slow turns, it is in both directions. It sounds like rubber turning on a smooth surface.

    Possibilities:

    . Strut Mounts--rubber bushing may be causing the noise.

    . Stabilizer Bar End Links.

    Any chance it is the all wheel drive and a need for that fluid to be changed?

    As TxGreaseMonkey, I can say you definitely want to change all fluids when specified in your Owner's Manual. However, you particularly mentioned the rubber sound, which my suggestions took into consideration. I don't think the all-wheel drive would be a factor.

    Try disconnecting both Stabilizer Bar End Links and see if the noise goes away. If it does, then you have identified the source of the noise. End links are pretty notorious for making noise. I've had new ones start making noise after 20,000 miles or less. If you end up buying replacements, be sure to get a set that comes with a lifetime warranty.
