Bumpy ride! - #1 Car Club In Kitchener - Waterloo - Cambridge

**Slawek** · 01-24-2005, 12:42 PM

Hey people,
Went to Toronto this weekend, and went off a curb that I didnt see due to the damn snow, and the curb hit the bottom of my car in the front. Anyway it was loud, as you can expect. Driving home, I didn't feel any difference. Anyway last night and this morning driving to work you can feel the car shaking at around 100 - 120km and hour. My dad said it's probably the ice stuck in the tires that's causing it to be unbalanced, coz he said his car started doing the same thing.

Does that make sense? Should I take it to a car wash and have it cleaned out?

Makes sense, but you could have also messed something up.

well how long should the vibration last for, i mean, till all the snow melts?

I think you're worrying a bit too much. Your dad's probably right, I've had that happen to me. It's supposed to get warm someday this week, wait till then, maybe it will melt off.

I've had mud on the inside of my rim before...massive shaking till I washed it out.
