Anyone who is LOWERED and has experienced vibration/buzzing at speed? Most noticeably around 65mph+? It's annoying and I'm concerned. It has gotten progressively worse the past 2 weeks. Gavin from infinite motion seems to think it's a wheel bearing. I jacked up the 'bad' side and there's was little to no play when I manually tried to move the wheel on the hub. Anyways I am open to suggestions/thoughts so I can get it sorted out. Thanks SD.

Other suggestions:

1.) Hub / Wheel bearing (seems like you already know they're not bad)
2.) Swap yout inner CV-joints ( I need to get this done, I have a vibration / shaking at lower RPM ... from about 1000-2500)

AP1 common problem with the orginal clutch that can on the car... there was a recall with this problem by the way but you are too late to get it... when you get a new clutch it will go away...

Sounds like "clutch buzz".....and problem is more pronounced under deceleration (mostly between 2k - 3k rpms). Looking to replace mine in the near future. The (Honda) fix is apparently a "re-engineered" OEM disk.
