Default Vibration problem

Hi all,

Please help..My accord is vibrating when it is at 45-60 mph. The steering wheel seem fine. But the gas pedal and the front bottom seem raddled/vibrated strong. What is wrong? This is a 1994 accord EX / 5 sp

Please explain more in depth...does this happen at all throttle angles and all gears? Hit any nasty curbs or potholes lately? When did this start? Any recent changes/maintenance you've made to your car?

For now my vote goes to an unbalanced or unaligned front wheel, or a bent front rim.

Sibiryk, thanks and I will check on the rear tires. But why in the rear not the front?

Syclone, thank you so much for the advises. Will work on it when I get off from work.

98CoupeV6, basically when i shifted from 3rd to 4th and at 45-60 mph speed.

The problem just started recently. I don't recalled hit a curb. And haven't had a wheel alignment for awhile.

usually if it's in the front, you would feel the vibration in the steering wheel too..

another thing i forgot to mention is to check your tires.. is it worn and near time for replacement? somtimes a bubble will form on the tire and cause the vibration.

You didn't mention vibration on a steering wheel. When front wheel is unbalanced it passes vibration on steering.

So when I was done I found that you answered on my question already.
It is so unfair to answer questions directed to others. :wtc:

I hope this is the answer you were looking for.
