Well this is really buggin me. I just threw on a set of new tires for this long trip to AZ. Upon my return ive been noticing some vibration in the steering wheel and in the gas peddle only when really gassing it. There is no vibration when cruising or at idle. Im pretty sure its not a compression problem as my car was checked out at Honda when I bought it. I just installed new plugs and wires. And the car seems to pull quite nicely. I personally feels like its coming from the wheels, Im not sure. Any imput would be great.

Ok i think I know the problem through my researching skills. If someone can confirm this that would be cool. If your inner cv joint (one nearest transmission) goes bad you can tell from the following symptoms. When you accelerate you feel vibration but as soon as you let go the vibration stops, could be a symptom of a bad inner cv joint. I noticed that both cv joints were leaking grease when I changed my oil before my long trip. Anyone with any experience with this?

Yea one my 1st prelude, when my cv join was torn it would vibrate pretty bad, i wasnt sure of the problem. When i found the bad cv joint and fixed it the vibrations went away/

How much is too much for cv joint replacemtent. Honda quoted me 1200 bucks for both. Im too wimpy for this job nor do I have the time to do it myself so can anyone do a better price than that?

dealer is always expensive, however; the cv joint fix is a VERY involved job

rebuilt axles are $75 each... swapping them both out takes me about 2 hours tops. If they're just replacing your axles, $1200 is robbery.

I finally figured out why I'm not broke...........because I do my own repairs.


Dear God,
Thank you for making me mechanically inclined.
