Car Forum / Honda Cars / June 20071991 Accord - Steering Wheel Vibration
I have approx. 149k miles and feel vibration through the steering wheel at speeds of 65-73 mph. I believe that the right half-shaft shaft is in need of replacement. I hear a clunking noise when making a left turn. Could a bad half-shaft cause vibration in the front end, or is it more likely a tire out of balance or a bad steering or suspension component? Any help or suggestions where to look would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Joe > I have approx. 149k miles and feel vibration through the steering wheel at > speeds of 65-73 mph.

Thanks, Joe could be either. check both. but if your drive shaft is clunking on corners, it needs replacement anyway. it could be the half shaft in very bad shape. i would becareful driving it until you get that fixed it may be ready to bust. -jeff >I have approx. 149k miles and feel vibration through the steering wheel at >speeds of 65-73 mph.

The clunking noise is not that bad, though I realize that it will only get worse, not better. Thanks to Jeff and Jim for the replies.
