Replying to: tanyasue (Sep 03, 2008 8:15 pm) Tire wear would probably not be the issue, although you could also have damaged your wheel rim during your encounter with the curb - look for a dent or significant mark (more than just a scratch!) on the suspect wheel. Another possibility is that you could have knocked off a balance weight on the suspect wheel. This would explain shaking at the speed you've indicated. Are you experiencing vibration or shaking only in the steering wheel, or does it seem that the whole front end of the car is shaking? If your shaking symptoms are only transmitted through the steering wheel, I would suspect an unbalanced (or damaged) wheel to be the most likely cause. But if your curb incident has in fact only put the alignment out of whack, you would probably not experience a vibration or shaking - only the crooked-steering-wheel symptom. Some further road testing and visual inspection is required!

Replying to: north52 (Sep 04, 2008 5:48 am) Um, I actually hit the curb so hard it knocked my car out of gear (automatic transmission). I am so humiliated to even mention that. That is why I wonder how much of this is alignment, but I didn't even think of the balance piece of things. I will look at that too-it is time to get my tires rotated anyway. |

| I bought a 2008 accord coupe EX but put in a Metra 99-7874 dash kit so I could have a satellite radio. This dash kit replaces part of the dash where the factory-installed radio and some controls were in the originial dash. Everything goes well until I am driving the car for about an hour. Then there is a vibration from the road that worsens when I go over rough pavement. Tweeter had installed the Metra dash kit and now Tweeter is out of business so I cannot bring it back to them. I don't know if it is the radio heating up or the kit expanding somehow leading to the noise. Any ideas out there? | |

2001 Accord Coupe has annoying dash reflection onto the windshield. I consider it to be a safety issue as visiblity is reduced. What I would like, if available, is a coating to apply to interior of windshield to eliminate the reflection. It is used on higher grade sunglasses but I don't know what it is. If any Forum readers have sugggestions I will be watching. Baja Joes

| Help! I have to replace my radiator and see there is a 1 row radiator and a 2 row radiator that are the same size measured as what I need. Does it matter which one I get and what would be the difference? | |

Replying to: north52 (Aug 27, 2008 7:13 pm) I may get the 2007 version of the V6 Accord Coupe with 17 inch wheels. Does that have a less harsh ride than the current version?
