Update...

Some people suggested for me to change tires because it was time. I now have new rims and tires. Vibration still there. I also noticed same vibration during the turn the on ramp as i was pushing the car but not exactly accelerating. The rear end is twitchy.

Do you guys still think it's the axles or could it be my diffy?

... It stops vibrating as soon as you let off because the bearing is no longer loaded against the pit it has created. Don't even waste your time or money with tire balance or alignment, if those were the issues, the vibration would be constant, not just under accel.


I really need to do mine as well, I keep procrastinating on buying the tools I need, I really like to do my own work but this one seems like it might be a pain in the butt. I am tempted to just have my mechanic do it. What should a job like that cost? ball-park figure?

I though my buckets were going out on my MY06 with 84K on a 1" drop.

Would get vibration during hard/moderate accel.

Did a valve adjustment and new plugs, now she is smooth like new again.

Half my valves were out of spec and two plugs were too, which were oem replacements with 45K miles on them.

Something to check out.

Sent an email to Boch Honda. Per TSB they might cover the work. I will keep you guys posted.

I took my car into Honda, handed them the TSB and asked them to check it out. They called the higher ups and good willed half of the parts/repair. My car is an 01 and had about 62k on it.... definantly out of warranty.
