After an accident involving the right/right rear of my S (slid off road, hit curb and street sign), I can't seem to get rid of a shudder from the rear of the car. I have a new (stock) right rear wheel, and both of my rear tires are new. Honda said that they are unable to balance tires above 60mph, so they suggested another shop that specializes in this. This shop was able to improve upon the problem, but not cure it.
Does this sound like a balancing problem, or do you have ideas of what else it may be? I know this is a tough question, but any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

Sounds like it could be a bent axle...

 

I forgot to mention this, but it only does it between 72 and 77 mph. I considered that it might be an axle, but wouldn't it shake constantly?

 

You could have a bent suspension component ...and is only showing the signs when it has "X" amount of load on it at "X" amount of mile per hour.

Just an idea, those suspension pieces bend easily.

 

Thanks for all the help, thus far. What is the best way to find a bent suspension part? I've been to Honda, and they say it's a balancing issue. Should a good body shop be sufficient? I don't want to take it back to the original body shop because they didn't fix everything right the first time. UGH!!

 

Get an alignment ...even if the car is pulling straight. Have the place doing the alignment go to the furthest settings both in-and-out for the S2000; if this is impossible to accomplish, then something is bent.

The alignment will be the best way to find out if something is bent, because we're more than likely talking about milimeters.

 

or it could be a wheel bearing problem!! Ask the body shop who fixed your car exactly what has been changed.
