Ive been having a weird vibration while acceleratin in my 90 dx hatch. It goes away time to time. Its coming from the left side. I took off the tire and on the upper the bushing looks shot and like blown out. I was pullin at the joint and it seems very loose if I sqeeze the bushing together tightly it tightens it up and its not as loose. I was wondering if this is causin the vibration and also can I just replace the bushing or the whole upper arm?

 

bump

 

if its loose, then it should be replaced.

you can buy the bushing separately from honda. $12 each.

 

Also some more probllems. It seems that the tire is wearing quickly. Both front tires. The left more then right. At higher speeds the car tends to pull back n forth like almost causing loss of control. The Vibrating only happens when acceleration. When I push the clutch it it goes away. The way the tires are wearing is kinda like camber were but the cars only lower like 1.5 inches and theres hardly camber. This is my 3 rd lowered car and my last car was 3 inches lowered with a lot of camber and the tires barely wore. Can someone helps me out? Tell me the main things to check?

 

dude, if you bushing is broken, fix it.

your car sounds dangerous to drive. what are you waiting for?

 

well I put a new bushing it in and it doesnt vibrate anymore. and its not loose. But what about the other problems... One bushing is gonna cause all this?

 

fix one thing at a time.

 

No I put the bushin in now what do I fix? Its still loose in steeing at higher speeds and I dont want the tires to wear anymore. Should I just take it to a shop tomorro and ask them to check it out or adjust toe or something?

 

its really hard to understand what problems you are now describing. i barely caught that you even replaced the bushing already.

badly aligned toe causes tire wear. it would be a good idea to align it.

have you checked the tie rods? feel any play in the wheels when you push them?

 

Not really any play. My Integra needed tie rods but never caused any problems it had a lot of play in it and never caused tire wear and it handle like 150% better then this car.

 

get it aligned then.

play in your balljoints will cause handling and tire wear issues.
