i have a h22a motor in my accord.my car shakes crazy at 45 to 70 mph.before 40 and after 70 the car doesnt shake at all.i had the wheels balanced and i had a allignment done to it.i did a rotation i have tried everything on it nothing helps.i do have a little bend in the front right rim.i have 17'' rims with stock suspension.the mechanic told me that the little bvend i have in my rim is not causing that problem.so if anyone knows what my problem could be please reply.thanx

 

borrow two tires from someone and go on another test drive.

Has this happened since the swap or is it new?

 

it happened right when i got the swap.so u guys think it could be tires then?because these tire are not cheap man and i have a warranty on them so i think im just take it back to the shop and get my money.

 

U said u had stock suspension right?? WEll id give that a look over. H22A is a heavy motor and that motor is heavier than ur stock accord motor. So i would go and give that a look over.

 

so basically ur saying to get some better suspensions.and what kind of suspensions do u suggest.i was thinking about eibach pro kit but dont know how that will work out.

 

you also need an aftermarket shock cuz either way that motor will compress ur stock front suspension so no shock travel. no shock travel = blown shock which is dangerous especially if ur driving. Ive heard good things bout eibach pro kits. Personally id go with a full coil over set but thast if u got the money. But spring and shock works also and its less stiff.

thanx guys i appreciate that

 

Have you actually ruled out tires/wheels yet? Just swap some with a friend who doesn't have such a problem and see what happens. Try that before you go swapping out your whole suspension. I have a H22 in my 90 with stock suspension and no such problems.

 

Yes u can do what h2290 said first. But i would recommend changing suspension in the long run cuz ur stock suspension isnt gonna be reliable.

 

Please don't get the wrong impression. I am on my stock suspension and it is not doing what you said but I do agree with Nail that a better suspension setup should be in order after this swap. I haven't gotten to mine yet, but it is most definitely still a good idea. Not saying it will solve your problem or not but you should still do it.

 

I had the same problem with mine, shaking at a certain speed, mine was at 60 mph (Though I have no H22 Swap) and it was the slight dent on the front rim. I even got the spacers I think they're called. Once I switched it and put it on the back it ran fine. Just make sure the rotation's the same.

 

I use to work in a tire center and usually when I here this the most common problems are tire balancing, alignment, factory defect in tire, lack of rotation which can cup tires.
