Hey C.C. Well I think I have my Talon sold for money as I am moving out of my parents house but now I want my civic to run perrrrfectly! I do about 130mi a day on the highway and this vibrating is getting real old real fast. Anyway, it only vibrates through the steering wheel when I am going about 60-80mph. Anywhere after that or before that and it is smooth. At 90-100mph it is smooth as glass. I can still take on and off ramps at 60-70mph with no problems or hesitation at all. With the wheels, tires, and coilovers I have the car has been aligned once and balanced twice due to a crappy job the first time.
Help is greatly appreciated!!!!!

Start by having your wheels balanced.

Off ramps at 70?

As said above go for a wheel balance first. When your balance is out ( more than normal ) the vibration gets worse with speed.

Wheels not balanced right, alignment, wheel bearing needs replacement.
If you're at home and can jack up the car on all 4 tires off the ground, i'd do a 6-12 and 3-9 shake test to be sure everything else seems in spec.

Okay cool thanks. The wheels and tires have been balanced and are in spec and an alignment has been done. Thats why im lost. And yes some at 70mph others mainly at 60-65 :D SAFELY!
Also 2slo4u Im not sure on how to fix it. could you help? Thank you

have you figured out a solution yet? .. did you do the 3oclock/9oclock and the 12oclock/6oclock wiggle test? if you get the wiggle at 3 and 9 oclock .. tie rods are bad .. im pretty sure if its 12 and 6 oclock, then its the wheel bearing

My car has an axle bind problem at 40 mph and then again at 80mph. H22 swapped though.

I assume you have a stock motor/trans set-up? My guess is either wheel balance issues, or possibly an axle not being happy ;)
