It seems that i start to vibrate over 60mph and then around 75mph it is smooth, so only inbetween it is bad. I thought it was just that i needed a wheel balance, but would it only vibrate at a certain speed. And also, when i brake hard, its is very bad vibrating, the whole car shakes. Is this becuase of the balancing also? I just want to make sure its not other things also.

Warped rotors can cause the vibration but it sounds like you have a wheel balance problem also. Take it to a place that does run out tests with a balance. That sometimes is the only way to find problems that may be in the tire that won't show up on a normal balance.

I'd first check out the easy stuff....lugnuts, brake pads, warped rotors...sounds like you got an alignment problem tho, in regards to high speed shaking(especially since it smooths out also). Could be uneven wear of rubber(if your ride's dropped, you have the proper camber adjustment?). As to shaking when you brake hard, I'd check the rotors.

I know a few people from "da-ville"...too bad they're chicks and they wouldn't be able to help ya out when it comes to cars.

EDIT: NSXmatt covered it (sorry, I was slow in posting)

first of all to check warped rotors u need a rounding guage, not worth buying if u dont work in a shop for brake repair.. **** is expensive. u can see if u got hot spots on them, a sign of warped rotors. take it to the shop for a brake check.. 10 - 15 bucks make sure they give u the specs on rotors. sears auto does this. alignment prob will not cause car to shake, it cause tire to cupp out, feather, and out of round. witch cause car to shake. so get an alignment with new tires.. bad shocks can cause tires to cup, and feather out also. good luck

sounds like you have an out of balance tire. get your tires balanced, then check the runout with a dial indicator(?), if uneven, get rotors turned.

Like the others said, it's probably "warped" rotors and unbalanced wheels. If you don't have directional tires, try putting the front left on the right rear. Sometimes switching them around will solve the problem. If it doesn't, get them balanced and then get an alignment if the problem still isn't solved.

ok, i have new rotors in the front, but i snapped a bolt inside the caliper so i couldnt get the mounting bracket off to get the rotor off the one side, so one side has the old rotor. How can i get this bolt out of the bracket, the head is clear off.

I know everyone is throwing around Tire issue. But I have thise issue also. I dont know if its the same thing. But Just letting you know things to try and look at.

My Drivers side uper mount is broke. So I need to replace it. I replaced it with OEM and the vibrating stoped. Let a friend drive my ride slam shifted and beet it up and voila the vibration is back.

Anyway check that mount Could be bad. not saying this is your issue but it might help

Could be the inner CV joint as well.

ok thaks for the input I'll go check all this out.

can also be a bent rim ( hopefully not ) but you will know when you get it balanced. Watch them balance it if possible.

I can almost guarantee you it's your inner/outer tie rods along with warped rotors. Honda's are infamous for tie rods.....:-)

are tie rods hard to replace?
