As far as your car, don't overlook a bent rim or driveshaft. I guess caked on mud could cause the driveshaft to be balanced incorrectly and cause your problem.

No drive shaft. ;)

However the outer CV joints can cause shaking. He would here a clicking when turning though............caked on mud isn't really an issue...

Alright, I got it fixed now. My car actually runs smoother now. I took it into Tire Plus and they did it for under 40 bucks. They said like others earlier, it was just "mud" - so I took it into a car wash and did a deluxe wash (double sprayed, etc) and then I took it home and did a pressure hose wash on everything I saw beneath the car including rims, etc - didn't work, so I took it back to the shop and they just balanced it for me, put PSI out of the wheels at 30 PSI on all 4 tires, and just did a factory-default balance on the wheel connectivity system (or whatever the right name is, forgot). anyhow, I guess if your car is slightly imbalanced, being stuck in the mud could possibly throw the balance of the rods, etc off balance a little more - I was unfortunate.

I'm not going to say anything more about the cops or that women since I probably won't have anything good to say about them, but I'll just say that car maintenace isn't cheap these days.


p.s. thanks everyone for helping, and for those of you who had stupid comments about other stupid stuff (you know who you are), go crawl back to your damn garage you mother fuc*ken geeks 'cuz your communication sucks (mines isn't better or worse but you mother fuc*kers suck). Thx guys cya
