anyone know what could cause a my steering wheel to shake? only above around 30 mph and my wheels were packed solid with snow in the inside and outside of the rim. could this cause a my steering wheel to shimmy almost like it does when you brake and your rotors are warped? i cleaned the snow off the wheel and it seems to be fixed if not better but I am not positive. just curious.

yes snow, can throw a tire off balance enough to make the steering wheel shake. another thing that would make this happen if the tire isnt out of balance is if the wheel is bent. that could posibly be your problem especially if you go wheeling in it alot, i know for sure two of my wheels are bent so i make sure i put those on the rear that way it doesnt affect my steering on the highway as bad.

ride your brakes for a little to get the wheels and brakes good and hot. that should melt the snow off your wheels.

Yeah, I would say to clean out the inside and outside of the rims.
I actually had to stop on the side of the highway yesterday and scrape the insides of the rims with a screwdriver. The jeep was vibrating and shaking so bad that I couldn't take it anymore.

My Girlfriend just had that problem with her car. Once the snow was off it was fine.

dont ride your brakes to melt snow.....BAD IDEA thats how you warp rotors and then you have an even wors shake when you brake. take the time to clean the wheels out.

If you have a compressor, just shot some compressed air in there!
