97 OBW with 130K, has 4 Hakk1 studded snow tires, in LAST season of wear on steel rims. New rear struts.

Hearing what I thought was snow tire noise, but can almost feel a wobble or rumble starting at 30mph. I don't SEE any wobble in any wheel when following the car, or when I turn each wheel, seems to stay same distance from the strut.

Frost heaves and other "imperfections" in winter roads sometimes make it hard to tell car noise from road noise.

 

What should I look at first. Guess it could be a balance issue. Or worse? Bearings, CV (rear??), u-joints, driveshaft, ...??

 

thanks for advice.

it's not simply snow or mud caked in the wheels is it?

 

 

i'm sure you checked for that?

Thanks Jamie -

not that I've never overlooked that!, but I did also check it this time.
