Could be a number of things, maybe the alignment, may be a bent rim, may even be the engine mounts. |

It could also be a bad inner CV joint.

There was so much JDM trapped inside that box that they couldn't contain it, so they had to put a JDM hole in the box to let the JDM out.

Just as a reference, the magic number for bent rims is 45 mph (if you work at a dealer, you'll know hat i'm talking about) and they would vibrate whether you're accelerating or not. Alignments don't EVER cause vibration problems, if anyone on here tells me they had their alignment corrected and it fixed a vibration, I will guarantee you the shop lied to you about what they did. Mounts or a driveline issue is most likely in this case, it is possible but HIGHLY unlikely that worn suspension bushings could be the cause.

yes i have to agree with others it could be the bushings in your engine mounts, this happened to my civic only encounters the shaking at high speeds/rpms

can't be the mounts because when you are moving the shaking will get less. You can tell its the mounts because at low idle thats when you feel it the most not at high RPM or speed thats when you less feel it or even at all.

As I've stated earlier in this thread, I think you have a bad cv joint. I had the same problem and replaced the driver's side axle shaft (problem side). Passenger side was ok.
