when i am sitting at a stop light my steering wheel shakes. Is that my motor mounts or something else? and whatever it is how much would it cost to fix? thanks

 

yo man i got the same problem...i relly dont know what it is... i thought it might be just my idle...like when the ac is running it shakes a loot so i dono wot to tell you except that i got the same problem....but my outher 95 civic has raceing moter mounts and it shakes the hole car like a B****! cuz it doent let the moter move....
I doubt that helps but yeah.....

 

i can probably bet a lot of money the valves just need to be adjusted...its about 100$ @ a dealer and takes roughly bout an hour...hour and a half...let us know! and good luck!

 

motor mounts. about $1K. sorry i had to tell you the price

 

Valve Lash doesn't generally shake the car unless it is pretty bad. If it shakes only with the AC on, it's shaking the accesory pullies and you want to tighten those down and check the belt make sure it isn't loose. If it shakes only while moving and NOT at idle... check your Rotors. A warped rotor will vibrate the car's steering. Depending on the vibration's severity, it could be faced or replaced. If the car shakes all the time, check the motor mounts to see if one is broken or cracked. I still don't want to rule out valve lash, but I've run on some really out of wack valves and the car didn't shake or shimmy.

hope it helps


P.s. Ian, I had trouble reading your post...maybe it was just me

 

What the hell kinda motor mounts are you buying?

 

Is it you that just feels the vibration or does everyone in the car feel it? if its just you it should be normal.

 

motor mounts: Robear Racing. MOTOR MOUNTScheck those prices!!

 

You can find them a lot cheaper than that.

 

I only feel it on the steering wheel, but its barely moves but still moves a little to where if i put my hand on the steering wheel i can feel it moving, but if u look at it, it doesnt move that much, but i can feel it.
