ok two days ago we got a little bit a snow i would say about three to four inchs. so not to much but just enough to go test out that great awd system that i have a new love for!!! first let me say this is my second awd and my first was a eclipse gsx and mitsubishi has nothing on the germanys!! i love this awd so great so great anyways my problem is bad vibration at 60 and higher. i dint drive the car really hard just some difting around corners and i dint bounce it off any curbs or anything like that. the whole car shakes and, could it be due to snow stuck inside the rims or is it possible that i threw a weight off? any ideas would help out greatly!

thanks again

 

ya snow packed in the wheels will throw the ballance WAY off and cause vib's.

 

probably snow stuck inside the wheel and I LOVED my audi in the snow it was insane with snow tires

 

I had snow in the rims that iced up and started vibing. PITA

 

and does anybody knows what the weight is on each tire! how many are suppose to be on each rims> the rims are from an 01 a4 !! thank s for all your help

 

gotta' love those damn germanys...

SMo'

 

Each rim is balance when tires are mounted and the wight is not the same on ever car or ever tire. If there is no snow in there then your balanceis off in the tires and you would need them balanced. The only way to tell if the balance is off, other than the symtoms like vibration from 55-85, is to have it on a balancer.

 

thanks everybody on your fast replys. tommorow i am goign to see what i can do i just washed the car and spryed it rim clean front and back so tonight when i drive home from work i will know if its somethings else i will repost tomorrow and let you know what i found!!

use to love the japs now i love the germanys!!

 

A car wash will eliminate your problem.
