I have the same problem in my 91 with tons of miles. I thought it would help if I did what you say you have done...good coils and springs, but if you say that doesn't help, I'd like to know what it could be too.

rims are good to go...just had tires replaced and all too. gonna try and take it back to the alignment shop and see what they say. oh, also, about 60 mph, it shakes like no other. is it just accords after a certain miles do this cuz i remember reading about other accords doing the same with lot of miles on it...

my 1990 does the same thing. only between 55 and 70mph though. I've got 248k on mine, original engine/tranny. It helped the vibrating a lot when I went from 14" stock wheels to 16x8" lightweight alloys though.

check your tire pressure.
low pressure can cause weird shakes.

I had the exact same problem w/ my 97 Accord wagon, Termite. New tires and alignment, and it drives like a charm.

One other thing you may want to check are the
Engine/Tranny Mounts.

Good luck w/ that man!

yea...finally it's been fixed. the problem i guess were the hub bearing, shocks, and tires. my rims are bent a lil bit but no significant shakes. rides like a charm after you've experienced the whole rattling and car convulsing. no shakes or what not but really smooth. oh yea..also had the rotors shaved and that made a huge difference esp with the shakes also. everytime i braked, shook like crazy but now, it's fine and dandy. so if yall have shakes, check ur tires, hub bearings, shocks, and rotors. usually these are one of the main reasons could cause shakes while driving. THANKS ALOT GUYS...appreciate the help. now time to save money for h22 swap.

I just took my friend up to Seattle from central OR, (long *** trip.) I noticed that the shake I had at 70 was worse, and it shook at 80, and 60, it was just shakin like crazy. Now that you mentioned shocks might be a problem, that makes sense. My struts are blown, and I have shi**y studs on and I think Schwabs did a bad job balancing my wheels. Glad to hear you got it taken care of, and now I know what to replace.
