Steering wheel shaking at highway speeds
I owned a 2007 Honda Accord and the having problems with my suspension. I replaced a motor mount and it still shakes. Dealer says I need to have my rear control arms replace. Can rear control arms cause the wheel to vibrate?
I assume you have had the wheels balanced?
Bent rim. Try rotating front to back. See if it helps. Rear control arms. Don't think so.
If the bushes are worn the car will shake as the suspension goes off on its own side trips.
A proper service should have found this before it became an issue.
Wheels out of balance… It will show more if your track rod ends are worn. Even worn anti roll bar rubbers
Maybe
Are any of your lug nuts missing or lug studs broken?
More likely to be wheel balancing
I would question that diagnosis. It sounds like a front suspension problem, not the rear and could be as minor as needing tires balanced. I suggest you go to another qualified mechanic and have them check it out. Do not tell them about Honda dealer's opinion. If Honda was correct the new shop should give you the same diagnosis.
Raise the vehicle on a rack. Shake the tires All ways. How much play in the front end? Look the tires over uneven wear? Are the tires in ballance? Are they super cheap tires? Have front end alinement checked while you watch. Just ran up on the pads.
- Will a steering wheel off of a Honda Odyssey fit my Honda Civic? I have a 2002 Honda Civic and need to change the steering wheel to another stock one because the brackets in mine are destroyed, I can't find one in my area and was wondering if a odyssey steering wheel from the same year would fit, and if the airbag from my Civic will line up with an odyssey wheel, so that i don't need to go buy an airbag
- Does power steering fluid get hot if the car is just running and the steering isn't being used? If the pump is just spinning, recirculating fluid and nothing else… Would it still get hot? I had to bypass the pump from the rack and have the fluid recirculate. Would the pump get hot from just spinning? I know 8th gen Honda's don't have a cooler for the power steering anyways.
- Where to buy STOCK steering wheel? I need to buy a brand new steering wheel for a honda civic ex 2000. It needs to be stock, not an aftermarket racing type. The reason i need a new one is cause there's an aftermarket one on right now but its not set up right, and I rather have a brand new one because when I resale the car, it will look much better and it is appealing for everybody. So is there a certain site? Or do i go to the Honda dealer?
- Steering wheel jerks when turning? I have a '95 Honda Civic LX that runs great except for when I turm the steering wheel. It jerks really hard and the tires snatch but then it goes back to normal. What could be wrong with it?
