how to fix steering vibration on Honda Accord 9th Generation (2013-2017)

Solution

1. Preparation

• Gather tools and parts needed for the repair.
• Park the vehicle on a level surface and engage the parking brake.
• Gather the following tools: jack, jack stands, tire pressure gauge, torque wrench, wheel chocks, socket set, wheel balancer, and alignment equipment.

2. Check and Adjust Tire Pressure

• Use a tire pressure gauge to measure the tire pressure.
• Inflate or deflate the tires to the recommended pressure (usually found on the driver's door jamb label).
• Recheck pressure after adjustments.

3. Inspect and Balance Wheels

• Remove the wheels using a socket set.
• Clean the wheel rims and check for any visible damage (cracks or bends).
• Use a wheel balancer to check for balance; add wheel weights if necessary.
• Reinstall the wheels and torque to the manufacturer’s specifications (typically around 80-100 ft-lbs).

4. Wheel Alignment

• Position the vehicle on an alignment rack and follow the manufacturer's alignment specifications.
• Adjust the camber, caster, and toe as necessary to meet specifications.
• After adjustments, test drive the vehicle to ensure proper handling.

5. Inspect Suspension and Steering Components

• Visually inspect struts, shocks, tie rods, and bushings for wear.
• Replace any worn or damaged components found during inspection.
• Reassemble any disassembled parts and torque to specifications.
