When I was driving today, I felt shakes coming from the rear wheels whenever I'm in the 20-30 mph speed range. Happens both during acceleration and braking.

I'm thinking that it's the alignment and balance or CV joints (just bought my 5th gen and the rear tires are mismatched, one BFGoodrich and one Yokohama). Anyone got any ideas?

Also, how much does it usually cost to replace CV joints?

a vibration in a narrow range of speeds is usually due to a wheel that's gone out of balance

Most likely from the mismatched tires in the rear.

 

BTW there is no CV joint on the rear wheels in a front wheel drive car, welcome to the prelude section of H-T!

 

Thanks guys!
