vibrating?
Hi All,
I have a 2000 V6 accord, and I noticed that when I accelerate sometimes, I feel a slight vibration under me. This vibration also happens everytime I go uphill (which i do everyday). The vibrating is more pronounced when I am going uphill. Im not sure it can even be described as a vibration, it is a very constant feeling and feels like im going over tiny bumps. Im only able to feel it because i'm the driver i think and not the whole car shakes. Its like when you're going uphill on a fairly smooth rollercoaster - not the whole car shakes, but you can feel something slightly vibrating under you.
Any idea what may be wrong guys?
Thanks.
P.S. I forgot to mention the the 'vibrating' only occurs when I'm stepping on the gas. But when I let go of the gas, the car's smooth again.

Check your lugnuts and make sure they are tight.
Happened to me and I thought my axle was going bad on me because it had the same symptoms.

Hmm, it looks like people seem to think its something wrong with my tires...dunno if this matters, but heres more info. I have 18" rims with Pirelli tires. Tire rotation was done about 1 1/2 weeks ago, so tire pressure should be okay (the symptoms where there before the tire rotation). I think the guy also pulled on the wheels after he put them on so to make sure the lugs were on tight.
Any other possible suggestions? =/

hi dazco, thanks for your comment. I think all the newer cars have abs right? i suppose it could be that, but it doesnt feel like the car's braking at all, it just feels like little bumps, not lurching.
