I got my 1996 Acura Integra LS today for 2900 flat. Its stock, the engine and brakes etc are cleana nd in very good shape. but cosmetically there is a dent towards the back(not too bad) and some scratches and nicks around the car. so it needs a paint job. I plan to hook it up, so i will probably be looking for advice here in the future. The only problem ive found with the car(i live in georgia, and bought it in florida, so it got a good first drive from me, lol) is when im at high speeds and i slow down to lower speeds, sometimes it rumbles(u know that rumble u get when u got a flat tire?) but none of the tires look flat, they are in good shape, any suggestions?

currently only have one picture in the my garage thingy, and its from the dealership, gonna take more pics tommorow.

if like you say its when your slowing down from high speeds on the brakes then its the rotors are a little warped and could use either a new set or you can get them turned for like 10 bucks......but if its doing it at certain speeds when your not on the breaks then your tires are out of balance and thats like seven bucks a wheel to have a spin balance done...cheap easy fixes...but if not those two then it could be flat spots on your tires maybe the car was sitting in the same spot for a while before you bought it.

if its the rotors it should do it everytime he slows down. but its probably more noticeable at high speeds. Itll get worse.

if his tires were out of balance, it would shake all the time at high speeds, not when hes slowing down. Same thing with flat spots

^if your talking about when your on the breaks, either your ball joints are gone(common, i have it myself), or your rotars are warped(also very common)

Blown struts will cause a shake as well but its not going to be really noticeable

Im going to say its probably your rotors. New ones are cheap and getting them resurfaced is even cheaper, but if they are really old. They may not be able to turn them and keep them in spec.

Does your steering wheel shake?

nah, steering wheel doesnt shake, it feels like its coming from the back, and it rarely happens, its not something that happens often or on a consistent basis, so i cant really pinpoint it, but its moslty when im driving at slower speeds from higher speeds(decelerating, not actually braking). and something else just came up, my sunroof was working all day, now its night time and its cold, so some condensation is going on, and now for whatever reason my sunroof doesn't wanna retract when i hit the button....how do i fix this?
