Shaking/vibration between 20-35mph on acceleration
Just lowered my car and it started doing this. 08 Tl Base 100k miles. FF T1 nothing wrong with them.
Ive taken it to get aligned and tires re-balanced "new tires" but problem still continues.
Ive check all nuts and bolts front end of car, axles, bushings, motor mounts, i mean everything and all looks in real good shape. Nothing was loose.
Others have had this problem with no solution. Some say replace axles, maybe need a camber kit, etc etc.
Any more ideas?

get you some Raxles axles.
http://www.raxles.com/
way better then the OEM axles and a reasonable price if you return the cores. Make sure and tell them you are lowered so they can get you the right parts

Had the same problem on my 08 recently. Just like you said, my vibration was noticeable when giving it mid to full throttle going 20-45 mph range. Any speed over that it was not as noticeable.
My car is a auto so I would speed up to about 20 mph and put the car in 3rd gear and floor it and the vibration was very very noticeable especially in the floor board of the car.
I replaced my passenger side front axle myself in May and it fixed the problem.
My 08 Base TL had 81,000 miles at the time. I've been lowered on F&F Type 1's for 3 years and nearly 40K miles when this happened.
No front camber kit, rear Ingalls camber kit.
I went with OEM because OEM has a dynamic damper whereas aftermarket (oreilly, autozone, napa, rockauto) all do not include dynamic damper. I paid roughly $145 from Genuine Honda and Acura Parts | DCHAutomotiveParts.com
This is a quote from "Raxles" website.
"A "clunking" sound on deceleration or acceleration may be caused by a worn inner joint. This sympton may also indicate a problem with the transaxle.
Vibration or shudder during acceleration may indicate a problem with the inner joint or a bent shaft"
I had the "clunking" sound on deceleration to a complete stop and acceleration from a stop for several months. Couldn't figure out what it was. Than finally one day I started to get vibration during acceleration.
I guess my axle actually showed signs but I wasn't able to pinpoint it until it started to cause vibrations.
The reason why I had a feeling it was my passenger side axle is because when I first bought the car in 2011 (30k miles) the passenger side outer cv joint boot was slinging grease all inside the wheel well. I never addressed the issue because the car drove just fine. 3 years later in 2014 (80k miles) it finally started showing symptoms.

I wouldn't get OEM axles for that price... Advanced Auto sells new ones for $80 that have a lifetime warranty. Many people use them with no issues. Just my two cents, though, since the OEMs are a little pricey

vietxquangstah can you clear this up since you said you went with oem because of the dynamic dampering..
Also been reading that the dampering can be removed and put on axles that does not come with it?? This true?
