I drive a 2008 FWD CRV and I have been dealing with a vibration that is present when going above 45 mph and goes away once I hit 60 mph. So far I have:
-Replaced and balanced tires
-Had an alignment performed
-Changed front struts
-Changed outer tie rod ends and lower ball joints
-Changed sway bar link ends and sway bar bushings
-Drained and refilled ATF 3 times
None of this has changed the vibration that is present between 45 and 60 mph (thought my ride quality has went up a ton, so I guess the parts needed to be changed anyways). The vibration is only present at those speeds and only when I am accelerating the car, the second I let off the gas the shaking goes away. This makes me think the likely problem is the cv axles or the motor mounts. My main question is, wouldn’t both the cv axles and motor mounts cause shaking at different speeds and not just a set range? Even when I go into high rpms at slower or faster speeds, my car runs smooth and no shaking is present. Is it possible the inner cv axles get to some sort of resonance that causes the shake at those speeds? Beyond the motor mounts and cv axles I’m at a loss of what it can be. My car has around 110k miles on it so maybe it is best that I just change both the axles and all the motor mounts, but my biggest concern is the horror stories I hear about non-oem axles causing just as much vibration as bad axles.
