Default slight problem with my civic

when driving it has a slight wobble/hop sort of feel to it. when going above 40-50mph is when i feel it the most. it feels as if its comming from the front passenger tire area. a while ago it would do it really bad, it like jerked alot when trying to excelerate. not it only only does it slightly but doesnt jerk at all. it almost feels likke my rim is bent but i know thats not it because before when i pushed in the clutch and coasted it would not to it, only when on the gas. now it does it slightly either way. im unsure what this could be but if you know what you are talking about and not jsut shooting out guess's then id greatly appreaciate your help.

your tire's probably not balanced properly or your alignment is off

i could only wish my tire wasnt balanced right but that would not explain why it would stop when the clutch was pushed in.

yes, i noticed it is starting to just slightly do that, when clutch is in and when breaking. i was thinking maybe an axle, but not sure.

its a eg hatch with a jdm b16a and lsd tranny by the way.

thats my best bet then is the axle. um....since I havent driven your car I wouldnt have a really good feel for the problem.

My other thought is could it be due to weak hubs?
