Audi: control arms on 98 A4 2.8 Quattro

I know the exact place you mention.

If your wheels weren't bent or cracked, or out of alignment (camber, caster,
pitch, yaw???) then you should be OK.

Just in case, ECS has a set of control arms sold as a kit for over 50% off
(Audi dealer) retail--> ecstuning.com. But you probably knew that since
you're local.

Assuming you've driven the car regularly since the incident on 12/24 (i.e.,
10+ days) with no ill effects, you are probably OK.

I don't think anything was out of alignment, and I know my wheels
weren't cracked or bent. I was driving this lovely car regularly with
no ill effects until today, when I experienced what I can only
describe as a shaking, not quite a shudder, while driving to work this
morning in 23F temps. It wasn't consistent and sometimes went away,
but was most obvious in the 30-45 mph range. And the road was
perfectly smooth all the way. The same happened on the way home in
10F temps. Tires look ok, no ice seems to be in the wheel wells,
can't imagine what's causing this.

I should clarify that we've been having snow and ice where we are (not
in Ohio, fyi, but in western New York). What would cause this kind of
episodic shake/shudder? Advice/guidance much appreciated.

Original post below for those who care to refresh their memories.

Thanks, Tony, I'll do exactly this. Great suggestion.
 

Look inside the rims for snow/ice build up. It hasn't been warm
enough to melt it, and we've had deep snow lataley.

Check to see if the balance weights are still on the wheel rims - may have
got knocked off.
