ok ,
 
i called my alignment guru....here's what he does on my 07 MDX
 
1. true tires...shaves them round..(i have the high end michelins and they still needed rounded...)
 
2. dynamic balance tire on rim.
 
3. MOST IMPORTANT...Hoffman Finish balancer...which computer/laser balances the tires on the car...he spins in up to 80 MPH on the car and the lasers and computers tell where to put the weight..
 
as far as the all wheel drive issue..not a factor..whom ever you asked doesn't know what he is talking about.
 
please note: i am not a mechanic and can not guarnatee this will fix your individual car..however, this is what fixed my vibrations in my MDX.
 
hope this helps in some way

I see that the posting hasn't changed much. I have a 2003 MDX... same issue. I've pretty much have given up on Ferman Acura because every time I go in they would ding me for $1400 worth of repairs that got me no where. The last was this one which I brought back to them so many times I've lost count. I had the wheels replaced, rotor replaced, wheels replaced again at my cost and I can't remember how many alignments and wheel balances with no success.
 
I have taken it in Tire plus for their honest approach but they seem to be having the same issue even after they balanced and took a look at the alignment....
