i dont work on cars too much i just know some book stuff like what redlines at what and what motor has this much horsepower and such but why is it that when i get on the highway or any street for that matter and go about 80mph or more the steering wheel starts to shake side to side a little bit then the faster i go the more it shakes do i need new tires or something or like alinment? this might be a simple question for some of you out there but i really dont know why if you could help me out thanks brian...

 

Your wheels need balancing, the hubs are not for a Honda, the tires are not 100% round, the wheels are not 100% round...Those are your most likely choices...

My money is on the tires or tire being out of balance...

tire balance first


if that doesnt solve it then most likely hub bearings

jack the car in the air and see if the hub has in and out play

 

due that by jacking the car up off the ground. Shake the whole wheel side to side. You will know if there bad or not by alot of play back and forth. If you can shake your tire and while doing so Check you inner tie rod in also. And also just look at your tires and spin them see if its bent (wheel) or seperated tires. Vibrations have nothing to do with alignments. That vibration usally is caused to tires out of balance or loose broken parts. Somthing like that. When you align a car all your doing is turning nuts and bolts basically.

 

it may be the rack...

get someone to get into the car and turn the wheel left and right and look on the rack boots, they are more than likely ripped...
at least thats what my wobbly steering wheel problem was.
worth a look

 

Is your car lowered?

I have a Teg too and my steering wheel does the exact same thing almost exactly when I hit 80mph. I went and got my wheels balanced, alignment, I have new tires on it....still does it. Actually, depending on what surface road I am on it is either less or more shakey. Could just be a Honda thing b/c most of my friends have the same thing happen with their cars but worse.

 

nope its not lowered its all stock i wish it would stop lol but i'll try to do what you guys say but i'm a little afraid to spend any money on these tires i have now thereshitty and i need new ones pretty soon and i wanna upgrade to some SI whees, sawblades or even some HX wheels and i would get tires for those cause these steelies suck
