Default Troubleshooting

I've got a 91 Accord... I was driving on the freeway the other day, and it started something odd. When I would accelerate above 60 MPH, the suspension would get really insecure, and I could feel a bit of a shimmy. If it were while braking, it be an easy fix, but while accelerating?

Anyone have any idea what this might be?

have u taken apart ur suspension lately? j/w, most people dont torque their nuts on their cars :-)

But other than that, i couldnt tell ya. Troubleshoot more and tell us what u find. When it starts to shimmy again, swirve to the left and right and see if that stops it.

Sorry i cant be of more help.

I haven't touched the suspension in at least a year... so I really don't know...maybe I should check for looseness...?
