My car has been well and truly snowed in since Thursday, with snow drifting over the wheels until I dug it out this morning.

After 20 minutes driving I got to a dual-carriageway section and as soon as I hit 60 I had quite bad vibration felt through the front of the car and steering wheel.

Now I would normally have thought it would be due to faulty tracking, but it had been fine previously and I hadn't hit any potholes.

Weirdly, I went out this lunchtime and it's fine again - should I be worried it's going to fall apart? smile

You've answered your own question, by nature of the vibration leaving by lunch, you probably had clumps of snow on the inside of your wheels.
Off balance wheels = vibration.
Now melted = no vibration.

Unless it comes back.

Phew, thanks. Just thought it was weird that it hadn't melted in 20+ minutes of driving.
