Steering Wheel Vibrations

At like high speeds, my steering will starts shaking left and right. Not far, but slightly left and right about 1cm rapidly. I let go of the steering wheel, the alignment is fine cause the car will go straight but it still shakes. What could be the possible reasons?

possibly brakes, I was exhibiting the same problem then I put in a new brake setup and the shaking went away at all speeds.

either misbalanced wheels, or warped brake rotors.

Do a search, I had the same post.

There must be some kind of a defect either in the hub or the steering rack. I once found a website that showed all the problems with 4th gen and the steering wheel vibrations was one of them.

First you must check all your ball joinsts to make sure there is no play.

I had the exact same problem, i changed the rotors and brake pads and it solved it, it turns out that my stock rotors were warped horribly.

What happens when it vibrates when your just driving at high speed without braking? although I am experiencing some pulsating in the pedal when braking and increase in vibration in the steering wheel..

92-h23a1 is not talking about the brakes.

What are the symptoms of a busted rack? My left front wheel can be rocked back and forth a bit. I replaced the all tie rods, so thats not it

oh yea, I have the same steering wheel vibration problem

I found an interesting article that deals with steering wheel vibrations. It seem Honda engineers didn't do their homework.
