check your tire balancing.

that will BY FAR be the easiest and cheapest thing to check/fix. bearings and bushings get expensive and can be a pain in the *** to replace. start cheap and work your way to more expensive/difficult parts.

 

i hope bumping works on here

 

i had a simular problem in my first honda it was a 95 ex when i got rite to 60 mph the whole car started vibrating .it ended up being my tie rod that was causing the vibration

 

check for worn suspension parts , out of balance or shifted belts in the front tires. try swapping the front tires to the back and see if it changes.. that will single out if it is suspension or tire related......

 

^ Word. Do you feel it in the steering wheel or in the butt part of the seat? Swap the tires and see if the shaking goes away. A seperated tire can be easily diagnosed that way. Also physically look at the tires to see if there are any bubbles in the tread or if it looks "pregnant". Any yes, worn inner tie rods will cause shaking, and depending on how bad they are, it will do it all the time, not between 65-80mph like some unbalanced tires tend to do. ...Jack the car up and move the front tires left and right by hand. Do you feel any play? Just a little movement left and right will cause shaking. Inner tie rods are pretty cheap, 60-80 bucks a piece. If thats the problem the steering should feel alot "tighter" and more responsive after being replaced.

 

i'm gonna say tie rods check the wheel for play when its jacked up (try to turn the wheel without moving steering). mines doing this now but they're stripped and i'm being lazy.

 

well that for your guyes input, ill go check i out and post what happens
