Steering vibrations
I have a 1996 Honda Accord 2.2l Ex Coupe with a Manual Transmission. The engine is rebuilt and running fine. Transmission and body has over 200,000 miles.
I have been having some vibrations while driving between 60-70mph. So I went in to get an alignment the guy told me to change my upper ball joint and inner tie rod on the driverside before he could align the car.
So I changed BOTH inner and outer Tierods upper ball joints. Didnt solve steering shake so I changed both CV Shafts one had a busted boot and the other was clicking. I bought and balanced and placed new tires on the front. With no noticeable improvements to shake.
I have swapped rims around to see if there was a bent rim but didnt find anything helped any ideas...?

Re: Steering vibrations
I have noticed the same thing in my 94 Accord. And this is with numerous rims, tires, suspension parts. Some people seem to think that the quality of the axles makes a lot of difference. And that either Honda OEM or Raxles will solve the problem. I haven't tried them yet.

Re: Steering vibrations
I wouldn't think it would be your wheel bearing but could be. Wheel bearings cause more of a humming than an outright shake and vibration IME.
How do the 2 upper control arm bushings look? (not the ball joint)
