Unhappy Slight Shaking while driving 65-80mph

I have a 2005 Civic Coupe with 64,500 miles on it and just recently there has been some shaking coming from the front end while driving at highway speeds. Does anyone have any idea what it might be from. Brakes and steeleys are still the original. Thanks.

I'd go get the tires balanced and go from there.

What do your tires look like? Do they look cracked and warped? Might just be time for a new wheel balance.

Check your tire pressures first. A real low tire can cause shaking. Then go get your wheels balanced. If it still persists get your front end checked out, if everything is okay get an alignment.

You have a 2005 ex that came with steelies??? Anyway it's your balance. Happened to me after I got new front tires. Only noticable around 65ish and up? Got the front tires balanced and good as new.

Have you ever washed your car while the rotors are still hot and have steam come off em? Cause that is what I did and it warped em. Same EXACT symptoms. It will give you a reason to buy drilled and slotted rotors! Give it a try.
