2003 Accord Vibration

2003 Accord Vibration
I have a 2003 Honda Accord. It has a vibration that is barely noticible until you reach speeds near 60 MPH. At 60 MPH it has a bad vibration from the front end that requires you to slow down to stop the shaking. The interesting thing is that the vibration disappears when you let off the accelerator, even if you are still at 60 MPH. The vibration is only while accelerating. I had the tires rotated and balanced this morning. It may have helped a little, but not much. Anyone have any ideas? Any help will be appreciated.

Re: 2003 Accord Vibration
I had this problem also, (at 50-55 and up when I accelerated, the whole car vibrated) and it was getting worse and worse over the past 3,000 miles. I tried replacing tires, re-balancing +and rotating tires. Finally a shop found that both axles had to be replaced. (Honda dealer insisted it was tires).
This is apparently a very common problem on 2003-5 Honda Accords.
Gulp the cost was $560 but it rides great now and handles much better. There were flat spots on both CV joint bearings and the axles were sealed and as a unit had to be replaced with the CV joints and boots on both rt and left axles.

Re: 2003 Accord Vibration
In any steering shake whether low speed high speed
Check inner & outer tie rods
Ball joints control arm bushings
Tires
And axle and bearing
If all look good
The axles are your vibration
During acceration

Re: 2003 Accord Vibration
With vibrations that only start at a certain speed the first thing to check is the tire balancing. If that doesn't fix it, you can check the suspension yourself to some extent. Watch Scotty Kilmer YouTube video "How to check your own cars suspension system". Scotty has been a mechanic for 49 years. It is also fairly cheap and easy and safe to replace the CV axles yourself with non OEM parts from a place like AutoZone or other parts store, says Scotty in another video "Replacing a broken CV axle on your car"
