Anyone else experiencing a very slight steering wheel shimmy at about 58? Problem seems to be intermittent too. Sometimes it's there (more often than not) occasionally it is practically undetectable. Hoping for just re-balancing the fronts.

It may depend on the road surface...on rougher pavement it might manifest, where it would not on a smooth surface.

Best have it looked at though.

Please keep us posted on the outcome. It could also be a high spot in a tire, or even an out of round rim. If possible, I'd try to watch the technician spin the tires before removing the weights to see if that was the problem. Sensitive steering on the Hondas I've owned magnify this type of problem.

B) Have all four rebalanced on a good HUNTER machine (I.E. Discout Tire) I've had steering shimmy caused by a poorly balanced rear tire.
