Greetings,
I recently noticed in my Accord 2001 vibrations that occur (or
noticeable?) only when I go above certain speed (obviously in the
highway). It would be safe to say that it occurs above 60 mph.
I don't remember having this kind of noise before. I bought the car new
in summer 2001 and I have been servicing it according recommendation by
the car dealership I bought it from. I also change tires twice a year
(all season to snow and back).
Since I would like to be better informed when approaching my car
serviceman, I would appreciate it if you could tell me what could be
probable causes of such vibrations. Visually inspecting the tires, I
don't notice anything special. However, I don't know whether to rule
out sloppy tightening of lug nuts, etc. Is this kind of vibration a
know problem in Honda Accords?
Thanks!

Tire pressure, then tire balance should get you on the right path.

Loose lug nuts would go clunkata-knunkata-klunkata as you slowed to a
stop. If you're unsure, for the sake of your safety and everybody else,
get out the lug wrench and check them ! !
Is sounds like your tires aren't being ROTATED each time they go back
onto the car. Read the owner's manual if you don't know what that means.

Hi
It may also be something to do with the suspension.

reality check here guys - you're both right, but both suggestions are
drastic and somewhat out of the ordinary. what's really boringly
ordinary, overlooked, and /much/ more common is a missing weight and the
need for a re-balance.

Re balance the tires-If they were recently purchased tires-are they
reasonable quality and not recaps-Other possible is you have a tire
starting to come apart-a good tire store should provide an answer.
