I HAVE A 94 ACCORD EX AND THE FRONT END SHAKES AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. I HAD THE WHEELS CHECKED AND REBALANCED AND IT STILL DOES THE SAME THING. CAN ANYBODY OUT THERE TELL ME WHAT WOULD CAUSE THIS?

 

hmm...maybe check cv boots/axles. try turning your steering wheel all the way to one side and check the black, plastic looking thing. if it's busted open and leaking grease, then there's your problem. hope that helped!

 

have them check your tierods.

 

Without applying the brakes:

Out of balance tires (you said you had those checked)
Bent wheel/rim
Broken belt in tire
Worn Tie Rods (either inner or outer)

With brakes applied:
Brake Rotors

If you feel it more in the steering wheel, It's the front(s)
If you feel it more in the seat, It's in the rear

If you feel the car weebling from side to side while rolling slowly, it's tires

P

 

does it only do it at like 65-70, or is it just like over a speed like 50,

i would say axles, inner joints have constant shake, outer joints shake at intervals

yo 97 ripped cv boots will not make a car shake as a matter of facts just a ripped cv boot will not do anything unusual except ruin the joint if u dont replace it so it is not cv boots ...like other suggested i would recheck balance, bent rims ?? loose frt suspension components ??.. try rotating frt wheels to rear and test drive ..

 

they could have fucked up the hub bearings when they did the brakes on it, I wouldnt call it uncommon if it wasnt done correctly or they pressed it in wrong.

 

yes it does it only between 65-70. i have allready switched the tires front to back and got the same shake it feels like the tires are out of balance but there not

 

raise car , hold oj frt wheels and chk for play side to side and up/ dpwn if u feel any play u got worn suspension parts.. ball joints, tie rods / ends , ........if all is ok i would have another shop balance my wheels

 

I'd check the ball joints first as they take a beating of you constantly rub the curb. If your lower joint is going out, it will cause the car to shake at hwy speeds

 

Some wheels are very hard to balance. Try some other place with good balancing equipment.

to add to this, I believe side to side is usually tie rod and up and down movement is balljoint, no?

 

im pretty shure that eaither your engine mounts are old and worn or you have too much power for your stock mounts my best guess from experience
