Honda Accord 02 Shimmy/wobble under acceleration

Is there any noise? Have you had the wheels balanced? & does swapping the wheels from the back to the front solve it?

I did wonder about wheel balance or tracking, but, I thought as the car is rock solid cruising along at any speed it probably wouldn't be that type of problem. Do you think it is worth getting balance/ tracking checked?

How will swapping F/R wheels help?

If it's out of balance you'll be putting the unbalanced wheels on the back and hopefully the balanced ones on the front. If it changes the behaviour then you know you've got a tyre problem & it's cheaper than any other check :-)

I like the idea of starting with the cheapest option!

Thanks for your help...

Cheapest is checking the tyre inflation. It could be anumber of things ranging from the trivial to the catastrophic.

Tyre inflation and balance checked and ok.

ATS put the car on the high lift, started the engine, engaged first and pressed the accelerator. You can clearly see the drive shaft is out of alignnment - he suggested either CV joint damage or the drive shaft is warped.

Change the whole shaft then, the labour costs the same as doing one end & then finding out the hard way. If it's the shaft check nothing else in the vicinity is bent, they don't normally or even abnormally warp for the hell of it.
