steering wheel shakes too much and noise from dash board only when acceleration.

My steering wheel shake too much when I drive around 60~70..
is it because of my wheel. because one of my rear is bent little bit.

I also have noise(clicking) coming from dash board when I'm accelerating.

I also question about steering wheel. Whenever I tried to reverse parking.
My handle feels so heavy. It is so hard to turn the steering wheel with one hand. Something wrong?

1. If you have a bent rim, this could be the cause of the problem. Do you feel any vibration in your seat as well? The best thing to do is go to a GOOD tire shop that uses HUNTER ROAD FORCE balancing machines and get ALL the tires and wheels rebalanced. Tell the tech you want it done the best he can get it, slip him a good tip and he'll take care of you.

2. Clicking noise could be a number of things, it could be a loose screw holding something or a broken clip.

3.Check your power-steering fluid level, and as well did you have the recall done about the power steering?

Thank you for replying.

I went to just tire to check my wheel and tire.
They said bent rim may cause little bit of vibration.
They said my front wheel was off balance. After that, steering wheel vibration is almost gone!!

If the steering wheel is too tight and heavy feeling, Should I check my fluid??
I did check all the fluid month ago. Everything was ok.

Maybe I should go to Acura dealer see my TL is under recall or not.

Thank you

Go back until they fix the vibration, the steering wheel shouldn't vibrate at all if both front wheels are in balance. Be sure that they clean the wheels off, remove all the tape and weights and rebalance the wheel properly on a HUNTER machine. The TL is very sensitive and will have a big vibration even if the balance is off by a few grams.

Check the fluid and make sure it's filled properly, low fluid can cause a heavy feeling. As well you should be under warranty still, have them take a look at it.
