The area where I live just experienced a HUGE snowstorm and my car was surrounded by 3-4 feet of snow. I had a hell of a time trying to get it out yesterday, and ever since, it has been bouncing slightly...even shaking. The faster I go, the more it shakes. It's not a flat.....I've been checking it for the past 24 hours. A few people told me that built up ice around the wheels could be causing it.

See if you can get it into a heated garage to let it thaw out. You just have ice built up in the undercarriage.

Take it to a car wash and spray the wheels and coils. You'll see the coils inside and above your tires. Ice build up it the coil springs and hubs (tires) will make your car shake, rattle and roll hard. Try this first before you spend mounds of dollars. If this doesn't work off to the auto doctor for you. If your car was ok before I would say this it the problem. Now hit the car wash and spray really good.

Sounds like snow or ice buildup on your wheels. It doesnt take much, and it will feel like your car is a Sopwith Camel! (thats an old WW1 bi-plane).

Try and get the snow off of your wheels, and it should be fine.

Check the area around the tires for ice buildup.

Yes thats it just happened to me last week, don't panic. The snow gets packed between your struts,shocks, suspension joints underneath the car this happens. Eventually the more you drive it will break loose or when it warms up outside.

You inadvertantly messed up the suspension.
This is very dangerous especially at high speeds!
Take in in for a check-up now!
Do not rely on people on the internet for opinions!
Get a mechanic!
