My 2000 Honda Civic SI has a shaking problem. It's not so bad in lower speeds but as soon as I'm at 50 MPH and I'm accelerating the car shakes violently untill I'm at 60 MPH then it smooths out and does not shake that bad. I found that 80 MPH is the smoothest speed. Are my wheel bearings bad and need to be replaced?

Try balancing the wheels first before jumping to any conclusions. Most likely you will find that the front wheels are out of balance but it's a good idea to do all four

It was almost in perfect balance. What do you think? Should I try the wheel bearings?
