Vibration starting at 60 mph

Hey guys,

I have a 2005 Acura Tl. As soon as I reach about 60 mph the whole car starts vibrating pretty bad. i recently did the following maintenance on my car.

1. Rotated the tires
2. Replaced rear rotors and brake pads
3. Replaced front brake pads only
4. Had to replace right rear studs that were striped from the idiots at PEP BOYS!

All the help would be greatly Appreciated! Also the car did not vibrate like this before this was all done.

you need to unmount that tire and get that crap out of there, that stuff is only for temporary fixes and car damage your wheel.

I have the same issue, I think it might be tranny related since it only does it when im accelerating. harder i accelerate, the worse it shakes, and i can coast down a hill at 60 and its fine. I just ordered some redline racing ATF to see if that makes a difference. i'll let you know
