My accord used to shake at 55-70 MPH. I got a 4 wheel ballance done at Pepboys, now it shakes at 70-75MPH. it does not shake as bad as it did before, but there is still a shake. What else might be wrong? what could i check? i had new axles and an alignment done about 3 months ago.

 

could have a bent wheel. Might want to check the alingment again though.

 

could it be the axles or anything? because i have 17" rims on my car now, and it did the same when i had the stock rims on.

 

I've had trouble with tires. A slipped belt will create a vibration. Also check the wear... had one tire cupping causing a vibration.

Try rotating your tires and see if the vibration moves around. If it does problems with your tires, if it doesn't its in your suspension.

 

Check your engine mounts also.

 

It still needs balancing. You said that when you balanced it the shake moved to a different speed.

That's what i was wondering. I was wondering if when it is balanced, if it was possible that it was not balanced properly?

 

yep

 

you could also have warped rotors

 

i know that my rotors might also be warped. but i think that independent of that, something else might be wrong. it shakes when i brake from 65 ~ 50 MPH

 

dents in the rim lumps on the tire,bad fuel consumption causein it to lean out,

 

Does this car ever sit parked for months?

 

If.. when you slow down.. it shakes... it should be a bent wheel.. I have the same problem.. thankgod I got some new ones..

So try and rotate them around.. and see if the shake transfers to another side.. Its probably a front wheel.. so move the 2 fronts to the back..

Yea... warped rotors would be your best bet... Check your lug nuts and see if they are tightened straight and to the correct torque specs
