Default Vibration over 30mph.

Just replaced t/b,b/b,w/p,both cv shafts,and sway bar end links about a month ago.Now my sister tells me the car has a vibration over 30 mph. on the left side.Yeah,that's where I just did all that work,and as far as I can remember,I did it properly with the (very much appreciated) help in my post.

https://www.hondaaccordforum.com/Bal..._141389/tm.htm

I onlydrove the car a couple of blocks when I had finished it,so I'm not physically aware of the vibration,and it runs like a champ.Any input would be appreciated......

Well, you can rev the engine in neutral to see if it's the balancer belt. When's the last time she got an alignment?

The T/B was done a month ago, if you did something wrong there, she would've noticed the first time she drove it, not a month later.

Well,now she tells me (I grilled her)that it vibrates when slowing down from above 30 (like on the hiway/50 or so) down to about 30 (when vib. occurs).....only when useing the brakes...(whew,I thought it was something I did/did'nt do) .But anyway,I guess I'll be looking at the brake(s) now..warped rotor maybe?

Warped fo sho. Tell her not to brake hard... I'd still drive the car myself before i did more work on it.

Nissin/Akebono make the calipers, Aaron. But, yes Brembo blank rotors are better than OEM and stand up to warping much better.

Links don't work. It would be cheaper to shop around online for parts....

Links don't go to a product, only a blank search
