I have this problem.. My direction feels unprecise when i drive, the car pull to the right on steady drive, city or highway, and when i brake, its even worst.. but when i accelerate the car go straight ahead until i shift, then pull again to the right..It was already pulling somewhile ago, but the driver's side spring is a bit collapsed because of the old 300+pounds driver.. I checked the tie rods on both side, no loose, i tried balljoints by moving the wheel up and down, no slack.. What am i missing? Is there a special way to check this one out ? Any help or comments would be appreciated! thanks

 

i would assume that you have had the vehicle aligned... check the tread on the inside of your tires, i had this problem on my 40 series tires because i didn't have a chamber kit so the inside wore out, but the outside was fine. could be the shock on the driver side, my car sits lower on the ds. is it lowered?

yeah, check the tires. also, how old are the rotors? i had this same problem on my 89 prelude and slapped new rotors on there and hot dam, no more vibration.

 

i agree with this guys assesment too, is it all the time, when your braking, etc. I had warped my rotors and that will cause you to vibrate and shake

 

Yeah could be the rotors in cause, cuz my rear brakes (disc), the sliding pins are jammed.. so its pretty much breaking from the front only..THey are a bit warped i can feel it
The car isnt lowered, just plain stock except some k&n filter and homemade intake modif (cheap)
Hmm i wonder, anyone can indicate me the right way to check balljoints on a 94 accord im worrying abit about them :/
Thanks

 

man seriously, it's most likely not your ball joints. unless you have severe problems w/your steering knuckle/assembly, i doubt it's that. have your (front)rotors measured, and if they're too thin to resurface, pick up some cheapies at autozone for like $17 a piece. everything you've said until this point has indicated bad/warped rotors. and if not that, abnormal wear on tire tread....honestly if you want it to quit shaking, i'd go about it this way. you want to start with the easy stuff first.
anyways, good luck
