Default HELP: A4 USP 3.0

A4 USP 3.0 V6

Recently when accelerating to around 60mph im gettting a minor shake. When at high speeds around 90 or 100im also getting a shake that i never got before.It's not pulling to a certain direction, and seems to be alligned just fine. In my neck of the woods we got 5 inches of snow on the ground.This problem just started after the huge snow fall. I had to drive through at least 4 inches of fresh snow at times. Could this be the cause of theproblem? its only been a day or 2 since then. But im also wondering- could it be an alighment? tire balancing? .. Its a high mileage vehicle, (100,000+)and it may be the timing belt? How could i tell if that is it? HELP

The alignment has nothing to do with a vibration.
Its either tire balance, or a bunch of snow is built up on the wheels.

^^ X2... if there's no snow in the wheels definitely get your tires balanced. even one tire out of balance can shake the fillings out of you teeth.

Its Day 4 and it seems that is has gone away for the most part- Seemed to be the snow that caused the problem

I had the same problem. There's snow in your undercarriage and it has built up on your t. rods.
