[Shop-talk] Honda car question

[Pat Horne]

An easy way to check the mounts is to put cat in drive & with t
The emergency brake & foot brakes on floor it to see if the engine moves too much. Try the same thing in reverse.

OK, let me start by saying, I do NOT know what is causing this. 

But that never stopped me from giving an opinion!  8>) 

First, I would think of a motor/tranny mount.  They are a pain to check for since I have seen them 'look' fine when the engine isn't under load. 

Next, balancing the tires was a good idea, but a quick check is to rotate them.  (Fronts to rear, crossing sides.)  Then a quick ride.  Here is my thinking on this... 

When the car is accelerating, weight is lifted off the front tires.  It is possible that a misbalanced wheel could be exacerbated under these conditions. 

Next is the front wheel alinement.  Same thinking as above, but rotating tires will not identify this as a problem.  Check the tires for any uneven wear. 

Can you read the codes from the OBDCII?  Do you have a lift?  These are the next two things I would dig into if I couldn't get anywhere with the above steps. 

Make sure you post the answer once it's found, I know I want to know what it turns out to be. 

If you are near NJ, the Garage M'hal is always open for business for stoptalkers (and their friends.) 

This weekend's project here is getting the new compressor wired and installed.  (Not a small feat.) So I'm here all weekend.
