I was driving home Saturday night down NFB and a plow left a wall of snow in the road about a foot high. I hit it on the right side of my car. Driving my car down the highway this morning the whole car shakes going 55+. Does the whole car shake when the wheels are out of balance or just the steering wheel? ---

the whole car can shake. If it wasnt shaking as much at slower speed, definitely snow build up in the wheels… ---

snow stuck in the rim will unbalance, causing vehicular parkinson’s. ---

I get this all the time from drifting in the snow. Sometimes it’s so bad my eyes shake when I get up to hi-way speeds. Car-wash ftw. ---

Yea its only at higher speeds. I will take it to a car wash tonight and see what happens. It would make sense, its been so cold the snow wouldn’t melt. I kicked out a shit load of ice buildup in the wheel well last night. I will check the wheel. Thanks 🙂 ---

x12343 on snow buildup. Possible it could’ve knocked off the alignment, but that shouldn’t give the car the DTs. ---

> [@nitroinsane](#): > > after some parking lot fun my car shakes like its got Parkinson’s Is it only at higher speeds? I was driving around Amherst sunday and I didnt have any issues but as soon as I got on the 290 and hit about 55-60 it started sharing. Not just the wheel, the whole car. There is a lot of ice buildup so hopefully it will just be that and I didnt knock my car out of alignment or balance. ---

My friend did that as well, saturday night/morning though. A foot high wall of hard chunky snow, cracked the front bumper and fucked up his foglights on his 323ci. ---
