So the powers that be forced me into work today (despite 15" of snow). In the process I had to go over a giant mound of snow at the foot of my driveway (thank you, Mr. Plow). Everything seemed fine until I hit the highway. As soon as I got the speed up to about 50MPH I started noticing a "shudder" coming from somewhere under the car. It feels somewhat similar to what an unbalanced wheel might feel like...I think.

Does anyone have any idea what the issue could be? Maybe some ice was throwing the alignment off or something? Bent wheel? Something worse!?

Also (and this might just be my head playing games at this point), I feel like the car is having a hard time making power. I'll have to see what happens on my ride home =0(

 

sounds like what happens when your wheel wells get caked with snow/ice...I'm guessing you just need to clean out around the front wheels
