it shakes like a bitch after 10mph and the car is warmed up. i think it might be a blown head gaskter....i also hear tappage going on, i hope its not the valves. has anyone had similar problems to this? my steering wheel jerks left and right after 10mph and its pretty violent.
thanks

1) i dont reach high speeds only to brake and find my steering wheel shaking and 2) i just had brembos along with new honda pads put in around 2.5k miles ago.
this shaking has got me thinking its the head gasket....car is cool drives fine, when it reaches normal op temperature car starts to shake vigorously after the slightest bit of throttle over 10mph.

check your axels. i had that same **** too. also... somtimes rotors are warped and you cannot see that. lastly check your bushings.... mabey one went bad or has ben bad and fell out or something.
If your headgasket was blown you would have a big white cloud behind the car and it would overheat. Check your coolant for oil.

i think it might be the axle. the right cv boot is shot to ****, but it wouldnt explain why it only does it when the car is warmed up. im gonna check oil and all fluids either tonight or on monday. if not then take it to the mechanic. im sick of this ******* car too, always having problems and i think the timing belt needs to be done soon too
If you have recently rotated or done ANY (aside from air) wheel maintenance then get your wheels balanced. It does not take much to cause a wheel to vibrate. Even though it may not affect your steering wheel get the rears done as well.
