New to the forums, but i have a quick question. I have a 2002 accord coupe Ex V6, and when I accelerate my front left wheel vibrates. It doesn't click or make any real distinguishable sound, but you can definitely feel the wobble. It is VERY noticeable at high speeds (around 70) and a little less at around 40, but still noticeable.
I checked my Strut and it is not visibly loose, and the tire is fairly new so i do not think it is a tire problem either. Somebody mentioned to me it may be that my CV joint is shot, but it's not making any sound or clicking or anything at all for that matter.
Any advice on what it may or may not be, and if so, is it something i could repair at home or would I have to bring it to the shop?

Thanks!

 

welcome to the HAF..
Seeing as tho you mentioned tire being fairly new, I would take the car to the tire store and have them check on the balance of the tire 1st..

 

Like previous poster stated. Simplest thing is to go to the tire store and check the balance. If you have a steel wheel there should be weights hammered in. Occassionally they will pop out on a pot hole. If you have alloys, there should black strips that look like thick tape on the inside of the wheel. They are weighted. Those are hard to take/peel off on their own. But checking the wheel balance is the way to start.

 

Thanks! I'll take it to the shop and have the balance checked and take it from there. The weights popping loose would make sense as well, there's a lot of potholes where I am. Once again, thank you guys!
