I have a '09 CRV with about 88,000 miles. A few months ago I noticed an intermittent shaking of the steering wheel above 50 mph or so. I had the front end aligned, tires re-balanced and front end checked for torn boots , loose joints,etc at one of those front end/tire /strut places. Problem persisted. It may happen once a week or not for 2 weeks or happen everyday for a week. I can even feel it coming on with a vibration in the seat of my pants. So, I took it to my mechanic and he found nothing (and he's usually pretty good). Bought new tires, had front end alignment checked again, re-balanced the new tires and it is still happening. Sometimes the shaking is slight and sometimes scares me to death. Any thoughts? Someone said a broken axle,but the symptoms don't seem to match up.

 

only when you brake ?

 

No braking involved, shaking starts while accelerating and then continues at whatever speed your at above 50 or so. Dissipates as speed drops off below that/

 

in the seat of your pants and on acceleration sounds like a axle starting to go bad

 

Mine has started to do that, but it is my shocks that need to be replaced.
