Shakes or Wobbles problem
1991 Acura Legend 6 cyl Automatic 190k miles

I have a front end vibration that my mechanic hasn't been able to diagnose. He has only been able to tell me that its not the obvious, i.E, not a ball joint, axle not alignment. It only happens on longer drives (40+ miles) and only when accelerating. It starts in the right front wheel with an out of balance "thumping" feeling that develops into a scary wobble/shake that radiates to the center then left side of the front end. Its not something I feel in my steering column until it radiates to the center of the front end. Your suggestions? I appreciate the input.

Did you start noticing this problem more after, let's say. A tire rotation (back to front)?

One of your rims may be out of balance or slightly damaged- I had a similar problem in the past and discovered one of my rims was slightly damaged and the rattle was more obvious at high speed when that rim was rotated to the front.
