wheel vibration
Hey guys,
Just bought a 1992 Honda Accord and when I drove it at highway speeds, I hear a thumping sound from the front tires, car rides like it riding on little bumps, steering wheel vibrates. What could this mean? Car is under warranty, so I can get it fixed. Thanks for any advice, Dave

That is especially true if it doesn't happen at any highway speed, and it only happens within a 10km/h range (say from 100-110 or from 110-120). Cosmin

Re: wheel vibration
just have the tires inspected and look for tread separation or cupped tires.
Any reputable tire shop should have no problem finding defects in tires like that.

"flat spot" is from locking up the brakes and the stopped wheel grinds a flat spot on the tire,then it acts like a shopping cart wheel. -- Jim Yanik jyanik-at-kua.net
