Default Wobble at 60mph+ when pressing the accelerator.

I got a 94 Civic EX and took it for a spin on the highway, and when I hit 60mph the car starts to shake/wobble mildly bad. It only wobbles when I'm pressing the accelerator. I could go up to 80mph and let off the gas and it would coast just fine. What could be wrong?

alignment...i wouid get it dont asap before your car drifts into the next lane and you take someone out..i dont think its breaks because it only happens while accelerating

No noises when the wobbling/shaking starts.

My 98 CX was doing the same thing...wheel alignment helped, then new pads/rotors fixed it.

Check your rims and make sure there are no dents. I had the same problem.. It ended up being my passenger rim. WHEEL BALANCE

Thanks for all the help. I took my car to a Honda specialist and he took it for a spin and his best guess was the axle as well. Lucky for me one of my friends opted to give me a free axle!

Probably should have mentioned my car was lowered as well... :/
