drivetrain??

[Brett Hartwig]

my brother has a 2007 Kia Sportage. The other night, we had to push his Kia out of a snowbank in front of my house. Had to rock back and forth, push from the back, for several minutes. Now, when he gets to 55+ it shakes, no noise, just shakes back and forth. What could it be? Transmission fluid (will check that in a few minutes, wanted some ideas first)? Any other ideas? thanks

Ice/snow in the rims, or ice/snow buildup on a driveshaft. I suspect it is in his rims though. Been there, done that.

Bent drive axle or shaft..... Bent rim, Or as Olaf said ice or snow stuck inside the rims...

It probably isn't even close to the same thing but I have a really vibration in the wheels at 50+ so I took it into the shop and they found that I had a wheel out of ballance because a chunk of ice ripped the wheel weights off of the inside of the rim and then I had a radial belt snap to make it worse.

I am pretty sure Olaf or Todd nailed it...
