07 RL 33,000 miles - Acura dealer has checked motor mounts - throttle body - fuel injectors - all good. When car is in drive, and stopped the steering wheel has a slight vibration in it, and now noticing when in that position a slight turn of the wheel causes more vibration. However it does not always occur. Last visit to Acura dealer it did not do it. Starting isn't a problem but the engine seems to run rough at idle when started cold. S Cal and garage kept so not freezing. Any thoughts.

Can someone send me the link to a thread either Chas2 or Boston ? wrote about the 2010 - 2013 wheels being compatible with my 07 soon to de paxed RL?

 

bearings in the passenger side radiator fan were going on my RL and it caused a vibration in steering wheel

 

^+1.

All RL wheels are compatible. It's the lug nuts that matter. The PAX and MMC lugs are the same, so if you get wheels from 2009+, there is nothing to do.

 

getakey - regarding vibrations in steering wheel - my problem only occurs intermittently - was yours the same?

 

yes - the passenger side fan comes on with the A/C (might be other times as well), but it is not on all the time

have someone watch the fan as you touch steering wheel and see if it corresponds.

 

Getakey - I failed to mention that when the vibration in the steering wheel is occurring - and I put the transmission in Neutral the vibration immediately stops. I mentioned your situation to my Acura dealer and they seem to think it's a strong possibility to fix the problem.. I visit them next week.
