my Honda Accord shakes while driving at high speeds, what should I do

Solution

1. Preparation

• Gather tools and parts needed for the repair.
• Ensure the vehicle is parked on a level surface and the parking brake is engaged.

2. Tire Inspection and Replacement

1. Inspect Tires
   • Check for uneven wear patterns, bulges, or punctures.
   • Measure tire tread depth; replace tires if tread is below 2/32 inches.
2. Replace Tires (if necessary)
   • Loosen the lug nuts with a socket set.
   • Raise the vehicle using a jack and secure with jack stands.
   • Remove the lug nuts and take off the old tire.
   • Install new tire, ensuring proper orientation and fit.
   • Hand-tighten lug nuts, then lower the vehicle and torque lug nuts to manufacturer specifications (typically 80-100 ft-lbs).

3. Wheel Balancing

1. Balance Wheels
   • Remove the wheel from the vehicle using the socket set.
   • Take the wheel to a tire balancing machine and balance as per specifications.
   • Reinstall the wheel and torque lug nuts to manufacturer specifications.

4. Wheel Alignment

1. Align Wheels
