have you made that billion yet?

guess not.. anyway..

i doubt its the steering. I think something is loose in your suspension and your wheel is shaking under load and causing your steering wheel to shake.

could be your driveshaft, or ball joints..

jack up the car and check for play anywhere.

there is some play in driveshaft that is normal, but there shouldn't be any in ball joints..

There was a recall on the ball joints for the 1st Gen TL's. Make sure this has been done. If not, Acura should do the work for you.

good luck

yea i havent made that yet just a load of setbacks but all in all good, i appreciate the fast response from u guys and will put everything into consideration, i will go to brake check and see if they can successfully diagnose this and compare it to your ideas as well.

Does it happen when you decelerate rather rapidly from higher speeds? I was running with an M6 onto the freeway earlier tonight and coming back down from 190KM/h gave my left hand a nice massage. Man, those things sound great, and I know he was 3/4 throttling it, too, hehe. OT but man, response from 165-200KM/h has improved so much after the swap. This powerband is almost perfectly suited for me...

~Cheers~

^ Yeah, mine are completely warped, but surprisingly, I can still stop without skidding but my buddy's MKIV couldn't. We both did a 60-0 stop and I came smoothly to a stop whereas he had his ABS light blinking on him, stopping a bit ahead of me.

~Cheers~
