we just bought a 03 acura mdx, love the truck but when we are at highway speeds there is a slight vibration to the steering wheel, more then in our 07 camary and 01 tiburon. it sometimes stops when its a real smooth surface and at lower speeds. is it because its awd or is there somthing wrong?

 

At highway speeds generally points in the direction of a high speed tire balance. Take it to your local tire shop and they should be able to take care of it for you.

 

If it is not the tires, inner tie rods are EXTREMELY common to be worn out on these vehicles.

 

I just bought an 04 CRV with the same problem, after I bought the thing (certified, HAHA) they spent a week trying to fix it to include giving me new tires, but its still there. I told them to look at the linkage but they said its ok, there is also a popping sound when you turn the wheels back and fourth on the right side (its not the CV Joint) so I took it in agian. Lower ball joint on left side bad but the right side is popping. How can I verify the tie rods are bad to prove it to the dealer?
