Default I feel like an idiot...

"The simple answer is probably the right one."

Boy I had to learn this the hard way. So for months and months of owning my LS there has always been a hard vibration under WOT acceleration.

I've changed axles, numerous alignments, motor mounts, etc.

And the culprit? WRONG SIZED TIRES ON FRONT!!!11!

That's right, 205/55 on driver and 205/50 on passenger! So a quick rotation and BAM! Problem solved, learn from my mistakes everyone.

Acura is Honda's luxury sport line of cars. Completely built by Honda, in Honda factories. The only engines that actually say Acura on them, are the K-series, and the newer Acuras like the TL, CL, TSX, etc. All integra engines say Honda on the valve cover. Your engine was prolly never stolen to begin with. So basically you ignorantly spent a lot of money for no reason.

haha you dumb bastard its a sailboat..


and if you went to any decent shop for a alignment they would have seen you had wrong tires..so kudos to you and your great victory of figuring out so fu.cking simple. just do yourself a favor and stay away from cut valve covers cuz they bite fingers off.

That really sucks. Trial and error. As long as you figured it out, that's great.
