O NO! Steering Wheel Wobble and Shake after Snow?
The car was fine after I instill a susp tech bushing kit until yestrday afetr a major snow. Now the car front end shakes/vibrate and the steering wheel wobble when I get up to 45mph. what could it be?
I suspect 1)alignment problem but I never really force the steering in the snow. 2)a bad balljoint but I only have 66k on the car 3)uneven air pressure ( I HOPE SO very unlikely ) 4)something is loss in front the suspension. 5)Wrap rotor (the traction control was on for too much during the snow) So far I was just be able to check to see if the front wheel nuts are secure. Any ideas?

Could be something as simple as loosing the wheel weights. Don't panic until you find out for sure....then panic. [

I haven't lived where it snows, but I've heard about mud and snow getting packed into the wheels, causing a big imbalance....

Happened to me too yesterday. But after I spun the wheels like crazy (with traction control off), and started driving around at higher speeds, it's completely gone now. My GT's happy now!

O G! you guys are so right(hope so for tomorrow too
 I just drove my car and everything was fine. I guess you guys are right about snow or ice in the wheel well or on the wheel that cause the wobblely wheels. Also my cousin have the exact same problem with his car today and I guess it's all the snow. THANK YOU VERY VERY MUCH. [:X] it save me a trap to the shop and probably from being ripoff like usual[|)]
