Car Forum / Honda Cars / September 20071998 accord engine shake/vibration
Just noticed today; ...my 1998 Accord EXV6 121K miles timing belt 100K miles, new lower ball joints last year. The car vibrates...actually shakes what feels to be side to side during medium to hard acceleration. NO symptoms during coasting, transmission shifts fine (that too replaced at ~85k miles). Brakes fine steers fine. Plugs, wires, distributor?? Idles normal not rough. Hoping it is not $$$. Any ideas?? Thanks, Matt I don't know much about this but my previous car had the similar problem - vibrates during acceleration... Strangest thing: I had the tires changed (because they were worn out) and the vibration went away... no I don't think it was the tires, I suspected the wheels just weren't put on right previously.... Just a thought. > Just noticed today; ...my 1998 Accord EXV6 121K miles timing belt 100K > miles, new lower ball joints last year.

Does the steering wheel judder when you accelerate? Poorly aligned wheels or balding tyres can cause vibrations during acceleration. For those who are interested; took the car to my dealer. Problem was the front AXELS. I had them replace both. Problem, solved. > On 7 Aug, 07:41, flt...@yahoo.com wrote: >> I don't know much about this but my previous car [quoted text clipped - 25 lines] > accelerate?

My '97 developed a bad acceleration only vibration from an out of balance axle. Other conditions were just like yours. Frank I've had that problem with an old 70's impala it would shake when getting up to speed due to the engine mounts being old and worn out, the rubber bushings could be going out.
