Just did my passengers side rebuild kit on new years eve and it didnt help. Im doing the drivers side rebuild kit next, hope that fixes it because the shake is very annoying.
Wheels ''Shaking'' -> RESOLUTION in posts #22 & #30
My car is shaking when I reach a certain speed of 60mph after I go over that speed the shaking stops. I also have shaking when I brake as well and I heard thats a warped rotor. Please let me know what this could be. Axles, Rotors, wheel bearings, something like that.

Just wanted to post an update for those who might look for info in the future. I rebuilt both inner axle joints and replaced both compliance bushings and still had the vibration between 50-60 MPH. It ended up being the ball bearing on the halfshaft. Now the drive is smooth. If you are having vibration problems I would bring the car to a good shop and have them diagnose the problem, I was going by what I read online and at the end it cost me more than if I would have just brought it to a shop in the first place.
Thanks for the update! I would say (via process of elimination) you simplified their diagnosis 
Glad to see it's fixed!
Glad to see it's fixed!Fixed the shakes with OEM passenger axle
I also had the shakes on my 05 MT TSX. I replaced the passenger axle with the OEM part. The shakes went away.
If anyone is interested in buying my used (100k miles) passenger axle send me a pm.
Note: this particular axle would need the inner joint kit which can found at heel toe auto.

Hi all. Got a 2004 accord cl9 2.4L auto same as the Acura TSX. The problem I am facing is vibration when I put the car in Drive or when when accelerating in low rpm. No matter which gear or what speed, if the rpms are low, it vibrates more than it should. its loud and drowns out conversations. I thought it was the engine mounts and sure enough two were broken and one was bad. I replaced them and was excited to drive my car and what do you know, still the damn vibration. It wasnt the engine mounts. there was no change in the viberation either. Even with the broken engine mounts the car didnt vibrate in PARK or in NEUTRAL. Now even after the engine mount replacement the car vibrates when put into drive. I know auto cars do vibrate but this is beyond that. The car does vibrate around 80km to 100km and then smooths out a bit.
I cant tell if its the axle or if its the tranny. The car does not viberate at any speed when put into neutral. Just in D with the brakes pressed or accelerating at low rpm. Any help would be appreciated.

I read the posts, but I want to be 100% sure that it's my axle. My steering wheel starts to shake around 70-90. I would rate the vibration a 6.5 out of 10, where 10 is the most violent vibration. I have also taken a video of it, here's the link.
I did see some threats that said it was the engine mount. That's why I want to double check before changing my axle.
The noise is from my keys (not the engine).

cant watch the video, can repost the link. I also have the same issue. But what I have noticed is, the car vibrates at a certain rpm. mainly around 2200 rpm or less. I have an automatic 2004 with only 50k miles. My mounts were broken. I replaced the three in the front with used ones. still have the shake. My knock sensor was messed up as well, so I had that fixed as that can cause vibrations. Still have the vibration. I feel like it could be my axel but the car vibrates when I put it into D and have my foot on the brake. Cant figure it out and its driving me nuts.
That sucks. I know that my idle is a little rough especially when it's cold, but once it warms up, the vibration is gone. My vibration is around 65-85mph. I don't think mine vibrates around 2200rpm.cant watch the video, can repost the link. I also have the same issue.

The video is unlocked now. Didn't realize it was locked earlier.
What mechanic?? I have an 05 tsx and I live in Middle Village, literally right next door. My tsx has the exact same thing yours had as you desribed and I wanna get it fixed.Ok as promised an update on my progress. It took a while to find the axles and to be delivered but finaly everything is done and it's true the shaking when accelerating is from the axels.Changed the front two and the car runs perfectly my mechanic charged $430 for the parts and labor.
Had the same issue. Was going to get some HeelToe upgrades, but I won't be driving it much, so I picked up some Advance Auto axles last week. Did passenger first and no change. Did the driver's side today. It fixed 98% of the vibration. It's barely noticeable now but worth the $60.
I am also looking to do this fix since my 06 has the vibration on high speeds, 65mph-75mph, I planned to rebuild the inner joint per heeltoe fix, but noticed that the inner joint OEM price has increased compared to a few years ago. I should have bought them a few year ago! Now I see that Acura have OEM Remanufactured axles, it comes out the same price as the OEM inner joint sets. Do you guys think that the OEM Reman from Acura uses OEM parts to rebuild them? Curry Acura parts guy which I buy all my OEM Parts btw, says they rebuild them in Ohio at the Honda facility.
Heeltoe doesnt have the right inner kits from Fastline anymore. Great communication with David there but they are backordered with no date in sight unfortunately. The OEM kits is pricey so I am going to try a Cardone. I have a credit from Rock Auto so I am using it up. I plan on keeping the original shaft and rebuilding it once I find Cardone shaft is garbage.
Time to do mine as well. I will inspect the inner boots for play and boot leaks so I can determine which axle is the actual culprit. Mine shakes above 50mph and under acceleration. Front rotors are done too, so I guess I'll be basically replacing a lot of the front end components very soon. @148k on the clock...so it's been time.
Vibration while driving constans speed at 110-140km/h
Hello
I have a big problem with my Accord CL9 2.4 Type S MT 155 000 km milage.
I feel vibration on steering wheel when I driving 110-140km/h. I've rebalanced all wheels many times with no result. I've change both axles in to another used axles with no results to. I've seen that CV inner joint has "clearance" in the longitudinal axis and it can move up and down. I've made a new one halfaxle is special workshop and order new one right CV inner joint. No results to. It vibrates steering wheel in constant speed. Sometimes it starts vibration in 110km/h, sometimes in 120km/h. I also found that this vibration can start and disapear in these speeds. Have anyone this problem? How can I solute and fix my car? Please help.
Best regards
micky

sounds like mine. Shaking at 55mph to 65mph at a cruising speed but so far no one seems to know. Spent all sorts of money. New bearing & hubs, new rims, new tires, balanced over & over again and the steering wheel still wobbles.. the only thing I have left is cv axle. But again it is at a cruising speed???
Is it a shake or a wobble as in the wheel rotating back and forth by itself? Happens every time you are steady in 55-65 range or every now and then?sounds like mine.

Check front lower control arm bushings. U can replace whole arms or just bushings. DONT BUY OFF EBAY YOU WILL BE REPLACING THEM TWICEMy car is shaking when I reach a certain speed of 60mph after I go over that speed the shaking stops.
