welcome to the forum.if you did a spin balance on a machine and the vibration continues, possible axle. if you can get it up on a hoist and block one side you may be able to check for each axle vibration. it could also be from warp rotors, if you drive hard then stop and sit on the brakes for a while, this will warp a rotor thru time. how many miles do you have on your cr-v.

It can be anything from bad ball joints to bad other tie rod ends
Front end of car must be in the air
Check wheels for play ... wheel bearings??
Check suspension and steering links for play??

Hi , Yes Wheels spin balanced in my shop twice, Had up on my hoist, checked all joints, ball joint check is good. I did put in gear but failed to block one wheel, will do that again tonight. the rotors are not bad, no play in steering, rock solid, No play side to side or top to bottom I do all my own mechanic work so pretty have good background. I did notice this morning when I started out very slow that the sound started and increased with speed. ?? So an unbalanced tire I do not think would make that sound at such a low speed. Thats whats throwing me for a loop. ?
Thanks in advance for all suggestions.

Well, drove home last couple nights tried the hard left hard right on the road, couldn't hear a big difference but when I parked last couple nights in shop and walked around vehicle first night smelled something a little hot, tonight felt all the hubs, Right rear was warm compared to the others. its 15 degrees here tonight, so will have another driver drive while I sit in rear and listen good to right and left side. there was no play at all in all 4 wheels, normally with other vehicles I can tell very easy. and maybe its the CV axle putting heat up to the hub ??
thanks

I have this on my 2014. Took it to an alignment shop my mech recommended- they took it out for a drive (I was with them) nada. Put it up on the rack and checked stuff, nada. The car still wobbles on the road sometimes, feeling like the wheels are weighted wrong, but no one can figure it out.

I'll have to take it to another shop in town, but not sure who is reputable.

Sorry I'm not much help, but am interested when someone finds a solution.

have you rotated tires front to back to front. don't know if this may pertain to crv's but on some accords with fluid drive power steering, the wobble would be at a certain speed only. not electronic power steering.
