car feels unstable!

[rdn]

hi guys

i have a feeling ,when driving, that the car is not stable on the road...(doesn't roll smoothly)...feels allmost like unbalanced tires (checked and balanced), but nothing in the steering wheel. Small vibrations at all speeds, no matter if i accelerate or not.

any of you had the same problem?..any ideas? (bushings??) How difficult is to change radius rod bushings? (damper fork is a nightmare )

Your best bet would be to go get an estimate at a wheel/suspension shop.
Its either an out of balance driveshaft, bushing, ball joint or bearing.
I had that happen once and it ended up that one of the swaybar endlinks snapped in half.

hmm...i'm gonna change the radius rod and stabilizer bushing this weekend and see if it goes away.

should i do a wheel alignment after that?

im notsure if im understanding your problem correctly..but maybe flat spots in the tires?

the tires are new and checked....however, the rims are not honda original...they are from some opel. The difference is that the inner diameter is some milimeter bigger than ours. Some people say that that could cause vibrations which i cannot see how since the rims are centered by the bolts which are conic-shaped

the winter tires, however, are on honda rims adn the car is vibrating still....
