I've had this weird steering wheel vibration in my car for about 2 months. It only happens when I drive 70mph or above, um... which is like,  um, never. So today I called Acura to see if I could get work done on it. The good news is that he knew what the problem was and said it could be fixed in about 30 minutes and that I could bring the car in immediately. The bad news was that it ended up taking them 3 hours and it cost me $45. Turns out it was a tire balance problem. Chris and Wei, you were right.

My tires came balanced when I bought them off of some guy, but the Acura guy was telling me that since I had been driving on my tires for a while without an alignment, it wore the tires in such a way that after the alignment, the wheels were out of balance again. So the moral of the story is, get your alignments done. Don't hold off on it like I did. Too bad I don't know how to do an alignment myself, I would have done it a while ago.
