Little Vibration From Right Front Wheel -- '05 EOD by ThatErha: 8:23am On Jun 12, 2018
Only while accelerating, I do feel some vibration from the front right side of my 2005 EOD.
I have listened carefully, there is no noise; but I feel the vibration from pedal area (not from steering).

Checked online. Suggestions are to check inner or outer CV joints.
Someone here suggested it's probably drive axle or brake disc.
Another suggests it's from shaft.
Mechanic says it's either engine rear seats or from transmission (saying mine does not use shaft). He said to change engine seats first.

Gurus in the house, please advise.

Thanks boss.

My brother, I don't want to get anywhere near that situation.
To me, this little observation is a big warning sign.
So, I have since parked the car. Not driving it until I am armed with enough knowledge to get it fixed.
And not by Kazeems.

Prevention is always best.

Thanks flecho.

Done that briefly before.
But I followed your advice and gave it a thorough look.

Tierods and ball joints seem fine. No sign of crack, damage or free play.
Next, outer CV joint. This was fine too. No damage to the rubber boot and no grease leak. Axle from outer CV joint to center weight was clean and dry.

Next, inner CV joint. Yeah, this is the culprit.
I couldn't see any obvious damage or tear on its rubber boot, but I saw signs of grease leak all over the axle, from the inner CV joint to the center weight.

Will need to get that replaced.
Thanks guys.

Bring out ur axle shaft and examine dat d bearings are well positioned on d shaft spider within d inboard joint. Clean d bearings ensuring dat they turn smoothly when u rotate each one gradually. Wipe out d old remnant grease and then re-grease d inboard CV joint. If d boot is still ok, tightening both ends with boot bands/clips. 2ndly, check ur engine mounts.

Months later, tackling the CV joints did not solve the problem.
Grease on axle was the uncleaned leftover during previous installation not long ago.

Real culprit is the right wheel bearing.
Has now become noisy. Easy to identify now cos roaring noise increases as speed increases.

Hope this helps somebody.

Will probably solve this DIY and come up with pics when I can.

CV joints and shaft damaged the wheel hub bearing. You continued driving without caution. I can bet my one cent You would change the CV joints
Re: Little Vibration From Right Front Wheel -- '05 EOD by Nobody: 2:00pm On Nov 27, 2018
Probably a bad passenger side engine mount. Common with Honda Accord of that generation. Slight vibration from passengr side, a mechanic changed the whole suspension components problem still persists until that engine mount was changed.

Bros, you obviously didn't read through.
CV joints (Infact, entire drive shaft) changed long ago, problem persisted.
Sometime later, noise heard while at speeding down highway (not city driving). Bearing fault suspected.

UPDATE
On proper inspection (for bearing noise), found out the rear right bearing was the culprit. (not front right as previously thought.) Rear right hub replaced, noise gone.
PS: Sorry, no pictures as promised but there are many videos for this on YouTube.

So for vibration issue, I may have to go with greenhulk and get engine mount inspected.
Re: Little Vibration From Right Front Wheel -- '05 EOD by ThatErha: 12:27am On Jan 31, 2019
Done.

All three engine mounts replaced.
Vibration gone.

Many thanks y'all.

I've learnt a lot.
Hope this helps somebody out there too.
cool cool
