i've had warped rotors before on other cars, but it only happened when braking, not when driving w/o braking....i guess it could be...i just don't know, thanks yosh and happy belated b-day1!

thanks Vade-R

when the rotors on my civic warped, I felt it when braking *and* during slow (<20mpg) driving.

its probably that then, i'll take it to acura.....another question is that i bought the car w/ 6500 miles, right now it has 12,000, the only service i've done is just 2 oil changes, when should you take it in for routine maintenance, how often.....i guess i could find my manual just lazy....thanks

Check torque on the lug nuts. If they are really loose it'll make a kind of rhythmic thumping noise.

Uhh... don't ask me how I know that.
