Tires good? When were they last balanced? Any impacts with curbs or large pot holes leading to a possible bent rim? Inner and outer tie rods good? Has it been on a lift and inspected? Shakes a little bout 60-80 just rolling? Under acceleration? While braking? Lots and lots of things can cause shaking.

Tires, Rims, Struts, or Axles...that pretty much covers what causes speed related shakes.

Tires
- Out of balance
- Damaged

Rims
- Bent (even barely out of round can cause vibration)

Struts
- Failed strut can cause the tire to bounce/hop
- Usually will have noticeable odd tire wear pattern

Axles
- Generally vibration under acceleration

lower compliance bushings is my bet if it's happening from 60-80

My problem was the axles. Had friend (retired Honda mechanic) install both front axles , he got the Carquest CV shafts, brand new, not remanufactured

CARQUEST CV Shafts New CV Axle Shaft Assembly (advance auto parts) , cost me $375.00 total, quote around $1000.00 at Acura Dealer for work

vibration is gone, car drives smooth again....

StealthTL-S , was your steering wheel shakes while cruising on freeway or just under acceleration ? Ive been fighting with my steering wheels shake from 65 to 80 on highway ( Cruising) .

I am on TEINS, got my balanced done ( 3 times) + alignments , have tried different set of wheels ...samething. All my bushings , tie rods, compliance etc...they all in good shape. Don't know what the heck its going on. The only thing I can thing of right now its the axle and I did order ( OEM dealer) driver side.....we'll see what happens when it gets here. Any speed under 65 the car drive smooth and firm.

No man, my steering wheel was not shaking, that's another issue. If it's the axle's , the whole car shakes on acceleration. Car was fine cruising without acceleration , heavy acceleration then very heavy shaking...even at 30 mph, does not sound like your axles man.

Yea, I am no expert, but I think it is your suspension , alignment/balance, but you said you got it aligned 3 times! Maybe try to go back to stock height suspension as last resort if you have to....
