Yeah, an hour of doing donuts will take the car out of alignment. Damn an hour LOL

Could have nocked off one of your wieghts and now one or both of your tires are out of ballance. Check that first, it's cheaper. Oh yeah and a hour of donuts? Holy cow, I thought I was bad just looking for fresh powdered parking lots once a day... I do them in my truck not my stang, it's winter time "don't ch'ya know"

Wheels need to be rebalanced and you could prolly stand for an alignment..

I've had this problem before after doing some trailblazing in some semi-deep snow with my winter ride. I thought for sure that messed something up so I took it over to my friend's shop and put it on the lift only to find out that on one of the wheels, the heavy snow/ice packed itself on the inside of the rim(Which of course threw it way out of balance) Knocked the large snowbuildups off and ran like a champ.

Just a thought

Wheel weights, or you had a ton of build-up in the wheel. If you rode your brakes, you could have warped a rotor.

+1 on the snow buildup. Haven't you ever done this before?

Wheel weight missing is a distant second and throwing out your alignment? WTF, did you hit a curb or something?
