1. tire/wheel balance (usually causes vibration at specific speeds 50mph and up)--also check or feathering/cupping wear patterns on the tires(which can be an indication of other problems

last time i checked sears told me that feathering was caused by misalignment....

lol, feathering is usually caused by hard cornering(but can also be caused by severe misalignment such as toe being out of spec by several DEGREES, where the tolerance is measure in hundredths of a degree)

cupping is usually caused by susp/frontend problems, and lack of rotation (and/or extremely hard tires)

hell some tires come cupped from the factory

*cough*goodyear*cough* :rick: What? I didn't say anything! I swear............ :rofl:

a couple of weeks ago i went from platinum to iridum, but i doubt thtas the problem since ive had that problem before and after the installation.

u guys think it maybe the timing belt? my cuzin had a 91 accord that felt shitty and when he changed it he said it ran alot smoother than b4

When's the last time you've yanked up your e-brake at a decent speed?

Last night...

Oh cause my car was violently shaking one day, and it was just a bad spark plug..

I was just stating my opinion...no reason for you to try and own me..
