2003 accord front end shimmy and wander over 60 mph after installing 17" wheels and tires

SOURCE: tire and steering wheel,

Hi there are a few possible causes
1. The wheel itself could be buckled
2. The tyre could have gone out of shape(sometimes the steel cords break or shift inside the tyre)
3.Wheels out of balance
4.tracking way out
I think if you jack each front wheel up and spin each wheel by hand i think you will see a if its a bad tyre or wheel
So good luck with that

I just replaced both cv axels one solved 80% of the problem and the other solved the rest. I wasted alot of time and money on new tires, balancing 3 times and an alignment. I should have just taken it to the transmission shop that I trust.

hmm.. im just taking a shot in the dark but when my car did this i needed new wheel bushings. It would shake and sound louder than usual.. not crazy, but a little louder. Anyhow, I changed my bushings and the shake was gone! :) justa suggestion..

my vote is ply spliting. Look for out of true tire at the tread as sighted across the tread with the tire rotating..... Raise car, put on safe jack stands, and roll the tire. The trick is to observe the tread...Look across the tread to a reference point on the other side. the tire should rotate and be true.

When plies split, there is an uneven or high spot during the above test.

The drift is commonly caused by insistance to cross rotate tires, just not a good idea as pulling often occurs and then cannot be stopped.

I am an admitted addict, but put on Michelin tires and you will be totally happy. The price is seriously more than worth it. Those tires work.

The first thing to have checked is the wheel balance, if they are good then you need the brake system and wheel bearings checked. Please let me know if this does not help as there are a few more specific problems that could cause vibration.
