i'll get the wheels balanced first, where's the place in concord jason_alt? I heard alignment is pretty expensive to get done. Im going to get an oil change in another 1000k so i'll tell honda to check it out, they don't charge anything to diagnose the problem and it's it's something small like wheel balancing, i doubt that they would charge for that. Plus, they started washing my car after every carwash!

i found a good place to do wheel balancing. It's called "Tire and automotive" on steeles between weston and jane (close to suzuki dealership). They charge 10$ per tire. I'm going to definitely get it done from them. I was surprised by the price because it was a very clean and professional looking place.

to make sure it's tires swap the front with the rears..
does the shake move to the back?? if so one of yer rims is snafu'd in one way or another (weights or bent etc..)
if the shake stays in the front...well get out yer cheque book..

imma switch my tires from front to back and if i still feel the shaking at the front, i'll get the wheeles blanced. If it still doesn't stop, i'll get an alignment done and if that doesn't work, then honda has to fix it.

dont listen to these predicitons, take it to honda first let them try it at high speed, tell them it shakes at hihg speeds and let them diagnose the problem, there are a bunch of car einsteins on this board but usually only a select few know awhat they are talking about

honda diagnoses the problem freeeee always, then they let u chose wherther you want to fix it. That's the beauty of it. I should just take it there and let them do what they do. They know my car pretty well there, so i guess that's my best bet. Best tip given by JOKER!
