I have a 2003 honda accord EX V6, I get a rattle coming from the front end at speeds between 30-50 mph. Im not sure from what side, I was told it was my wheel bearing, I had it replaced and it is still doing it. It only last for a few seconds and goes away. The rattle happens when I am lightly steping on the gas or the car is coasting with the foot of the gas pedal, it doesn't do it if I accelerate rapidly through 30-50 and beyond. What can the problem be.

Actually its not a shake in the steering wheel, it's more of a vibration coming from the front end that last a few seconds. It sounds and feels like the vibrating chairs you find at the malls for $1, the vibration shakes the floor board, dash and seats but I don't feel it in the steering wheel. I don't know if i'm explaining this right but that is the closest I can do. I can say I had the struts replaced on it about 20,000 miles ago but the problem did not happen till about 10,000 miles ago. My tires are wearing un-even my front passenger is wearing on the outer half part of the tire, and my drivers front is wearing on the inner edge of the tire. I elimanated the tires being the cause due to a balance and rotation and the problem still there.(Its a sedan)?
