Hi,

I have a 2001 Civic Dx-G and been noticing some shaking happening on highway driving. it's got 80,000 km on it and it's stick.

on 5th gear, going at around 90kph, i notice the steering wheel shaking back and forth.
This only happens around 90kph. If i'm on 5th gear going at 80 and below or 100 and above , i don't have this problem.

i only notice this on highway driving since i don't drive at 90 kph on street roads.
Could it be a balancing issue?
my alignment seems fine, it hardly pulls when i let go off the steering wheel, but the slight pull that actually occurs could be from the bad highway.

what could my problem be?

Thanks guys

yeah your tires need to be balanced and check the alignment

if it's a balancing issue, why does it happen only around 90 km/h and not at any other times.

can you explain in detail what happens when the speed gets to 100 km/h and above; why faster or lower speeds make the problem not noticable or non existant.

its NOT alignment related, vibrations are caused from rotating parts...tire, wheel, rotor, axle.............. Most likely its a tire out of balance, out of round, or seperated
