FYI - BAD vibration after driving and parking in depe snow

[1990lumina]

If you recall my post about our little snow storm the other day...anyway, I've been plowing through tons of drifts and at school today I smashed down a huge drift and parked in the deep part.

 

When I got out of classes today I went and started it up, and immediately I knew something was wrong. There was a bad vibration that chaged with the enigne rpm...so immediately I thought back to everything I've hit...and figured I fucked something on the exhaust.

 

Anyway I drove it home, and wow was the car vibrating bad from this....I figured I torn a joined piece of pipe but I wasn't sure because I couldn't pull over to check.

 

So I got home fine, car is running normally, just loud and vibrating. I crawled under the car to insepct the exhaust when I saw what looked to be like a fairly major hanger directly behind the cat. converter...which was forzen solid to the undercarriage in pure ice. I took a broom handle and smashed the ice off (took a few good hits), and now my vibration is gone, and everything is back to normal

 

 

So just a FYI in case you may have run into the same wierd problem.....oh, and OT - all four of my brakes were forzen solid this morning....I found out when I got to the end of the crescent and couldn't stop .....a quick hammering of the brake pedal to the floor caused a nice "pop" and now the brakes are working again too lol

Sounds like that was a good time

 

Good to hear you got everything fixed, especially the brakes! Cause I know what you mean when you have no brakes! not too fun.
