Shimmy????

Alright, so I know I don't come on ls1tech as much as I used to, but I have a slight problem. I have a shimmy in the wheels when I drive. It didn't happen on the way to work today, but it happened all the way home. I honestly have no clue what it could be. My tires aren't flat, and I had an alignment done a few months ago. Snow, rain, and and sleet have been falling today, so maybe this could be the problem??

Thanks
-Nick

It's possible that a bunch of snow/slush has gathered on one or some of the wheels.

This would make the car feel as if the wheels were out of balance.

Yeah. When I got home I noticed that there was a bunch balled up inside the rims. So I took it off. I just hope it stops because I have a long drive to work tomorrow, especially if it keeps snowing.
