I have had the car for about a year and have been messing around with the same problem and have never been able to nail it down. (2001 Acura MDX)

It there is a knocking/wobble on the front driver side and I can only feel it between 65mph and 80mph. below and above those speeds, there is no problem, but in that range, it feels like my car is going to fall apart. I have new struts, tires, brakes, and rotors. I even replace a bad rim. Everything is balanced and aligned. It happens while I am accelrating, not while I am braking.

I also noticed that cruise control it will knock at any speed, so I do not use the cruise control.

Please HELP. What is wrong with this thing

So you get the same "knocking/wobble" that you would normally experience between 65-80 at any time when you use cruise control?

Marc721

Well i only put it on cruise at 50 and higher, so yes at 50 and higher it does it all the time in cruise

Thats really strange. Is the feedback coming through the steering wheel or everywhere else?

Marc721

That is what I say. Everywhere else. The steering wheel is fine. No vibration, no pulling.

FiftyFive

Are you sure none of your wheels are bent or unbalanced? But that wouldn't explain why this happens when you turn cruise control on.

Marc721

I just got new tires and had one of the rims replaced, so i am pretty sure none are bent, and balance was done, so I dont think so.

FiftyFive

Was this happening before the tires/rim were replaced?

Marc721

Yep, that is why i replaced the tires and rim. Before that I replaced the struts and control arms, and when that didn't work I was told I had a bent rim and I replaced that, along with the tires.

Any chance of getting it diagnosed at an independent mechanic or dealership? I honestly never heard of anything like this. Hopefully one of our members can chime in with a better response.
