My car has sat in the driveway for the past two days, today I went to clean it off and warm it up and after about 12 attempts was finally able to get it out of my driveway then at about 45mph the wheel started oscilating very rapidly, the quicker I go the worse it gets. Is it just because the wheels were frozen or what else might cause this? thanks

 

If your front wheels are moving from side to side I have no idea...

But if you just feel a vibration or something.. It may be because it rained on your car and with the cold your E brake froze up. I've had mine to do this when left outside...

If this is the case, your back wheels will feel warm

 

Make sure the wheels are cleaned off. If theres a bunch of snow or ice packed inside a wheel, I guess it could throw the balance off.

Take it to a high pressure car wash that sprays the rims.

 

thanks fellas, its back to normal, first time ever done anything like that before so I wasnt sure what to think

 

My wife freaked out the other day for the same thing. Of course she called and woke me up all worried[:@]

 

could be three things....balance, alignment (but probably not), or, your front brakes are locked up and when they get really hot they shake (probably not it but it could happen with the cold) i'd just clean your wheels and get the tires balanced (discount tire will do it for free)

 

Psst! STDbill read post #5 he got it figured out. But way to get a plug for your work in there

 

brasmas just because it stopped for now doesnt mean its fixed...btw i hate my work but i have to say discount tire does things the right way, thats the only reason i recommend people to them. i actually want a new job heh [&o]

 

Wow, same thing happened to me today, after my little off roading expirence a few days ago major ice had accumlated in the wheels and the entire car shook above 45mph.
