I have this annoying vibration and my observations are detailed below

-It starts at exactly 50mph under accleration.
-Once the gear changes and RPM drops, vibration reduces
-If I let off the gas pedal, I no longer feel vibrations
-If I maintain my speed at 50mph, I don't get vibrations.
-The vibration is not felt in the steering wheel but on the vehicle itself

Vehicle is an 07 accord

Please, what am I looking at

wrapped Tyre,

tell the vulcanizer to help you check for contour on Tyre

switch the rear Tyre to the front and drive for confirmation

Jack front of car up and spin the Tyre while gear at N and car securely wedged and fix you binocular eyes and watch the tyres roll, a deformity can be noticed.

faulty engine and transmission seating,

check your seating for damage, change as appropriate, vibration not too noticeable may be due to minor engine seating faulty.

Check engine light

if you have you check engine light on, it's time to scan fault may be from engine internal component or transmission itself, scan and tackle issue to avoid overblown damage

Theres no CEL and I doubt its the tire. I have two 2018 Dunlop tyres in the front wheel and they have done less than 3000 miles.

The front and side engine mount seem to be okay, will have the mech inspect the rear and the transmission mounts when he checks the cv joints.


Thanks a lot bros

Sending off your child in school bus can be a fearful thing for parents. After all, they have no idea if their child has gotten to the school safely. This thought will be there until the child gets back home after school hours. But if the school bus is a delayed for reason unknown to the parents’ minds start racing.

Bad inner CVT joint aka inner cup.

Remove shaft, inspect both and change the worn out one. Look for a dip or chip like in the pictures below. Run a finger along the running groove of the bearings, any dip or chip will cause shuddering during acceleration only.

Warning, do not remove when engine is hot.

Bent rim could be the cause;swap front with rear to confirm.
If no improvement then Cv joint could be the cause.

Car theft is on the increase in most states. Everyday someone loses his car at gun point. Cars parked in public car parks are not safe either as car thieves employ ingenious methods of breaking possible into parked vehicles.

Do well to add what kind of car you have there, transmission and possibly history that led to that.

Please when ever i put on my Toyota Corolla Sport in the Morning it usually vibrates, after acceleration for few minutes it stops most especially when i am not using AC. My mechanic said the engine sitting is the caused that it needs replacement. Kindly advice on the necessary action to take.

If the vibration stops after a while, then trust me it has nothing to do with your mount as a bad mount would make the engine vibrate at all time.
I think you have issues with your idle control system, and I'm suspecting you have your fan running all the time with thermostat out.
Scan the car for codes.

Check the gear oil level see if it's at the right gauge.
Also check the gear mount if they are okay.
Observe if it makes that sound when engine is hot or cold or always.

I'd suggest you scan the can for proper diagnosis.
But you can carry out a DIY check yourself.

1. Open the bonnet and check if your mounts are good. Ask someone to step on the brake and move the gear from P to D and R (I would advise you add wedge to the tyres and check from the side and not directly in front to avoid accidents). What you should be looking at is surge when gears are engaged in gears. If it shakes violently, den you might need a new gear mount.

2. Also repeat the same diagnosis process but this time observing if the wheels moves back and front while gears are engaged even with brakes depressed (check both front wheels). It could mean you have excessive wheel play which your mechanic needs to check for you. If this is the case then its possible you might be hearing same sound in the D and R position.

But take it to a good shop and let them look at it.

At Night or when the car is parked for a long hours the fan will run for about 1-2 minutes and will stop.

On my RX 300 2002 model, i had a check engine light blinking. My engineer changed fuel nozzle, 3 plug coils, check engine oil, oil filter and grind the valve in the cylinder. After this, the check engine stopped blinking but check engine was still on and engine stopped misfiring and driving was smoother. I observed 2 weeks after this repair work, the check engine light and VSC light did not come up a again.
Please i want to know if it does not have any negative implication. Kindly advice.

The bolded got me confused.
Are you sure they've not wired that stuff to go off the moment you start the engine cause I do not really understand what you were trying to say.
I'd suggest you scan the car if you have doubts.

I don't see the use of a scan tool.
