    I hadn't driven my Honda for trips longer then 15mins for quite some
    time, but due to a recent workplace change, do around 30 + 30 min
    everyday. I've started noticing that my arms, specifically the elbows,
    are hurting more. I feel that the steering wheel vibrates more then it
    used to before, I dont know how else to quantify it.

    About the car, its a 1999 Honda Accord, well maintained, recently did a
    water pump and belt change, brake rotors and pads, spark plugs,
    filters, all fluids replaced on a regular basis at reputable Honda
    specialist shops [non-dealers]. Around 95,000 miles, 1-owner, Boston
    area. Tires are Bridgestone Potenza RE950, around 38K and due for
    change soon.

    Is there something specific that I can ask the mechanic to look at?
    Steering Wheel? or should it be the shocks/struts? Tires?

    Thanks.

    Have the tires balance checked;you could have lost a wheelweight.
    (or buy your new tires;they will probably balance for free for a purchase
    of 4 new ones,and maybe even do a front end alignment,too.)

    I'm leery of dealers rotating my tires.
    I like to rotate same side,no crossover.
