Snow/Ice

Driving on the highway at 60 my wheel on my car is vibrating like crazy. Anything below 40mph im good, But once on the highway i think i got some ice chunks under my car. What could potentially go wrong. Alignment, busted tire rods anyone give me some info

I ended up taking it to the car wash and Power washed what i could see but if thats not enough what should i do

Let the car thaw out. The problem will go away. Welcome to driving a small car in the winter.

main cause of this is even a small bit of ice or snow, people come to my work like crazy because of this issue, take it to a shop ask them to let it sit for a half hour, problem fixed, had my car shakeing like hell thurs and did this

even built up sand can cause that.. you do realize when they balance your rims/tires the weights are in oz's lol

A little bit makes a huge Difference!
