Sometimes when i start my car the steering wheel vibrates for a second. Did anyone else notice that? What could be the problem. My brother has a Honda Accord and his steering wheel does that all the time when he stops at a red light.

 

u might need your tires balanced or your rotors turned

 

^ that wouldn't cause it to shake when he turns on the car though

 

^^ turns?,, he said stops?

 

he said his does it when he turns it on, his brothers does it when he stops.

 

That is correct.

 

mine vibrates too, like when i'm going arnd 60 or so...or when i'm going faster than 80... and than again when i'm trying to stop from a high speed such as 70+

 

^^ sounds like rotors

 

if it vibrates with speed, your tires need to be balanced

if it shakes when you are braking, your rotors are warped

 

will acura replace my rotors for free? i have 22,500 miles and i bought it feb. of 2002

I just put new rims on a few thousand miles ago, they should need a balance already? should they?

 

they might replace them for free, depending on the amount of wear on your brake pads. there was a tsb out about this, print it out and show it to them (I posted it below).

and you shouldn't need your wheels balanced again after a few thousand miles... try taking it back to where you got the rims put on and bug them about it

 

my next mod is going to be some new rotors....so I dont know if i want to go through w/ the BS w/ acura...

 

dotn waste your money buy some nice Brembo's off ebay and then install them yourself it shoudl only take about 3 hours max for all rotors to be done if you know what your doing

i would get slotted for the front and slotted and drilled for the rear, most say slooted and drilled for the front but i have found that with a FWD car and you brake, where does the brake dust go, the first place it can fill up at, the holes, this gives off skweeks and noises, slotts allow the dust to move out and the holes keep it in there

but just a thought

 

Steering wheel shake when stopped can either be the motor mounts or something as simple as getting the steering assembly lubed.

 

Yeah, i'm going to do that, I just got back from the Acura Dealer and did my 22,500 mile service and my tranny recall...it shifts alot smoother now, and the steering wheel isnt vibrating as much! So i'm just going to save my money up and get those brembo rotors or some rotora's and some ceramic brake pads...I'm hoping i can get it all done b/w $300-$400...

 

my steering wheel vibrates too






















because my subs are playing so fooking loud
