-Could you explain your situation a little more?
What year a model and what has been dine to correct this
how many miles on the car?
Does it vibrate when braking or accelerating ?

Customer replied1457 days and 1 hours ago.

Well, when I pull off and accelerating the steering wheel starts shaking and vibrating. It is a 1993 Integra RS with 136k miles. And at what RPM does this particular car idles at?

Expert:  MASTER TECH replied1457 days and 1 hours ago.

The base idle should be 700 rpm
ok so to understand you it happens while your under acceleration
I would have the inner axle joints inspected for excessive play which is real common on the early integras

Customer replied1457 days and 1 hours ago.

and after that what need to be replaced?

Expert:  MASTER TECH replied1457 days and 1 hours ago.

The axle assy
if your able to Jack the car up and grab the inner joint and see which one has play then just replace that axle
most parts stores sell them for about 75 bucks with a exchange

Customer replied1457 days and 1 hours ago.

Sir I'm totally car illiterate...what does that mean?

<p>they are basically what makes the car move.</p><p>so with that information i would let a trusted automotive shop handle this repair for you as you will need a jack and jack stands and some specialized tools to complete this job.</p>
