    Help! Nasty vibration through steering at 60mph

    I dont feel its the gearbox myself tbh. Ive watched a few videos on youtube the past couple of days on vibrations on the Accords/Acuras/Hondas in general. The videos dont seem to give a concrete answer but the comments left by experiences others have had on these videos seem to make more...

    Help! Nasty vibration through steering at 60mph

    From memory its NGK plugs that were supplied by HH. According to the service book they should be changed every 25k miles, theres no time interval there and im another 7/8k miles before they're due a change. Not sure about the 'gapping' bit

    Help! Nasty vibration through steering at 60mph

    I dont think il be going down that road if im being honest, sounds fun though. I do wonder if this issue could be caused by spark plugs needing replaced? Just something i came across online. These show as 25k miles for the change interval and its currently running on genuine plugs from...

    Further update. Gearbox specialist has checked it today and is confident its the primary differential going into the gearbox. Pricing ranges from £800-£2000 plus, dependant on a refurbed diff or brand new parts.

    Help! Nasty vibration through steering at 60mph

    Update, Ive had the lower control arms and tracking done this morning, issue remains. Ended up buying a set of borg and beck arms which were on offer on ebay. Back to square one sadly.

    Help! Nasty vibration through steering at 60mph

    Seriously hope thats not the case lol. Had it at another garage this morning and they've said the lower control arms need replaced followed by allignment/tracking to fix the vibration issues, theres quite a bit of play in them. All gearbox/engine mounts are fine and the rest of the suspension...

    Help! Nasty vibration through steering at 60mph

    cant say its a buckled wheel either, having checked myself there's nothing obvious, all 4 alloys look fine inside and out. I did ask my mechanic to inspect the outer shaft when fitting the intermediate shaft and his feedback was that it all looks fine. From memory it wasn't cheap fitting the...

    Really dont feel its the balancing myself. The first tyre shop did a quick replacement of a front tyre and balanced both wheels. Despite this my mechanic reckoned it was still the balancing and sent me to a tyre shop he could recommend. Thats where all four wheels were balanced and the extra...

    Help! Nasty vibration through steering at 60mph

    Have swapped the driver side front and back, issue still there. Then did the other side too and its still the same. Any ideas anyone? Before i go down the road of gearbox shafts, whatever they are... None of the wheels looked buckled but im not sure if it wouldnt be visible to the naked eye...

    Spare is a space saver sadly. Going to swap the drivers side front with drivers side back and take it for a run and then do the same on the other side if that fails.

    Help! Nasty vibration through steering at 60mph

    Got it in this morning after finally getting the replacement shaft. The issue remains sadly. The only other thing my mechanic could suggest is to switch the front wheels with the back wheels. Off to try that now... Otherwise he reckons a primary shaft in the gearbox maybe. Spent quite a bit so...

    Help! Nasty vibration through steering at 60mph

    Took it in this morning and the car threw up alot of error codes including historical ones. EML has never came on before. Cleared them all and its not came back on. Just need to drive it and see if it comes back, hoping it wont but I get the feeling it will. Subject to the intermediate shaft...

    Help! Nasty vibration through steering at 60mph

    Driving back home with the family earlier tonight and the 'engine malfunction lamp' came on. That has never ever came on before. Will need to get it into the garage to establish the error code. No issues on the driving side, probably a sensor or the aftermarket Cat i stuck on it last year. Fun...

    Just spoke to the shop on eBay. This has definitely been damaged in transit. Ordering another and arranging for a refund on this one. Delays the job further :-(
