Accord 2001 vibrations above 50-60 mph
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! Sam |

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