sounds like the CV joint and axles worn. Had the same problem on my 4th gen accord and had those replaced and bam, sound and wobble problem gone

I can't recall if there is a vibration in the floor because the vibration I feel is pretty wicked.. the whole front end just kind a shimmys and wobbles at high speeds and I feel it in the steering mainly besides the whole front end thing.
I'm gonna have my buddy at the honda shop take a look at it today to see if he can tell what it is... if he can't I know somebody there in the shop can so hopefully I'll have an answer before the days out.

Alright, I had a couple guys at the dealership looking it over and it's definitely the tie rods that come out of the steering rack... could possibly be a bad steering rack too but the tie rods are definitely shot.
My buddy can get both left and right tie rods at cost for $80 so I'm hoping to get them and put them in this week some time... I'll keep everyone posted how it rides after I put the tie rods in... thanks everybody for trying to help:thumbup:

I replaced both tie rod ends and rebooted the rack because both boots were torn... the wobble is almost completely gone.
I still have a slight wobble feel and some noise which I'm now convinced is coming from my upper control arms... I plan to get the skunk2 camber kit that comes with the control arms so hoefully that will fully rectify my noise problem... if not when I replace all the suspension bushings that should do it.
