bad alignment, worn tires there are a lot of reasons, need more info like what it feels like. Example - feel only in the stearing wheel, floor ect...

Does it happen ONLY in 5th gear @ 2500 RPMs or any time you get up to a specific speed? Sounds like you need to have one or more tires that need to be balanced and also have your tires rotated. Need more info to really be able to tell though...

Get it aligned, the tires balanced and rotated, and it should stop.

check to make sure your tie rods are good and make sure that you didn't loose any wheel weights

in 5th at 2500RPM the car goes to around 70 MPH, that's usually the speed that makes the tire feel a lot more, if this is while you brake is another explanation, but are the tires balanced? have you rotated this tires?

yes it shakes only at 5th gear 2500 and up. i asked many and many said to have it aligned and check on weight and tires. i checked my tires and found 3 of them are gone. i also just got the car new wheel bearing for the left front and right upper bushing for the car. i will have all the tires replaced/bal/aligned. this would run me a lot. i spent 223 on getting the bushing and wheelbearing. the steering wheel skakes, the car in the front shakes.

BTW: the rust on the rotors should go in like 5 min of driving, no worry there.

no it shakes at 60mph and up. i had the tires bal and checked. no problem on the weight/belt broken. i do have 3 worn tires that may cause these, but then again maybe its the wheel itself. im going to have all 3 tires replaced or find me a set of prelude wheels.

good news. today i switched my 92 accord front wheels with the 95 accord, it doesn't shake now. this could be either a bent rim or just tires need replaced b/c they are bald almost. good luck. -tony
