We recently had a snow storm and while driving on the highway I spun out into a median which had about a foot of snow. I was able to get out and the car looked fine but once I got to about 60mph the car would shake pretty serverly. It seemed as if the shaking was coming from the passanger side, but I wasn't sure. Any idea what could be hte problem? Thanks

The wheels are out of balance from Ice/snow in the wheels. They need to be thoroughly defrosted to get rid of the "new wheel weights".
