Is the Honda Element part time all wheel drive?
It is called part time all wheel drive. If it was true 4 wheel drive like a jeep you could switch into 4wd low, you cannot though. It only stays in 4wd high which makes it all wheel drive whether it is part or full time does not matter. Well I just called Honda and was told that definately it is a 4WD system. Not a AWD system.

What causes the steering to vibrate at 50 mph?
A toe-in or camber misadjustment can produce steering vibration in a speed range, and will also show uneven wear across the entire tread belt from inside to out. An out of round tire can be in balance on the wheel and still cause vibration.
When do you turn on the headlights does the vibration go away?
For example, when I am stopped at a red light I feel this vibration through the steering wheel and in the driver seat. Now, when I put it in reverse (foot still on the brake and vehicle stopped) the vibration goes away. Also, when I turn on the headlights the rpm slightly increases and the vibration reduces greatly.
