You need to be more specific but from what you're saying i think your wheels need balancing.

^^ agreed does your steering wheel vibrate while your driving over 80Km/ph? if it is then its likely that you need to get your wheels balanced

This happened to my car before too. But mine was at 110+km/h. I got wheel alignment done and problem is gone.

its the CV's its already been discussed... sash_euro got his vibration fixed and it was the RHS CVJoint wasnt greased from factory (thanks honda...)

i reakon thats gonna be the problem with all the Late model Hondas i think its mostly 2004 =\


once again... thanks honda =p

that goes on the list with the others....

Lemme put an edit on this

GOOD NEWS!!!!

Took it to a CV joint and Drive Shaft specialist, fixed the problem for $250, problem was with the RHS Inner CV joint.

They said LHS is on its way out within 10,000km

Also said the damage was most likely due to insufficient grease when the car was being assembled or possibly because the seal broke (maybe when being jacked up?).

thats what sash sent me =D

I forgot to mention ..it rattles harder when i full throttled it above 80km+/h
but when I full throttled below 80 it was fine

Sounds a lot like CV joint/s.

Just a wheel alignment would be fine :)

Rebalance your wheels (and do an alignment if you want to). If it still doesn't work, then follow what Braxta did. His car vibrated really bad as if driving on unsealed road!
