Default My Accord 04 is shaaakkkinnnng

I have an accord coupe EX 04 V4. I been thinking that it needs an aligment. But only shakes after snowing the next day. I checked the wheels to see if there is ice or snow, and not a single bit of it. The shaking happens at certain speeds. Sometimes @ 40, 60, 80. It only had done it 3 times and between each snow storm one can be weeks or 2 months. I need some help!

Spontaneous shaking? or only when braking? Spontaneous...wheel and tire balancing most likely. While braking...most likely warped rotors.

And your motor is an inline four (i4).

Default Thanx 4 the help

It happens while am driving in the hwy/st. 40 / 60/ 80. I took all four wheels and nothing unsual, normal wearout, braking and take offs are normal. Am just waiting for the Spring to kick in, so I can slap my 18" on. The funny thing is one day would do it at 60 then tomorrow at 80 and it would be gone until another snow storm hit again.

Sounds like snow in the wheels or even cold flat spotting

It has been 5 days without snow. And still doing it. I changed yesterday my springs and inspected the wheels but no bangs or dents on the wheels nor tires. And i don't want to take it to get an aligment done because in couple weeks I want to put my 18". But what do you mean cold flat spotting?

Exactly. Its from the car sitting in the cold and the tire gets a flat spot but it goes away after a while

After 1 wheel alignment, 2 wheel balancing in 1 month. Don't know what to do. The balancing only last me 2 days. No bent rims from the mechanics. Oh well.
