hey guys, so i was driving up to davis from san diego this past sunday and now my lex feels off. there was snow in the grapevine and i happened to go up an hr before they closed it down due to the snow. so i was driving in the snow with my bfgoodrich f-sports which didnt get me anywhere once the snow started covering the ground =( luckily i had chains on me and put them on the rear wheels and was able to get through safely. however, there were some scraping sounds which i assume was from the chains but everything felt off when i was driving in the rain/dry. every crack, dip, or bump in the road seems to make the rear want to slip. the front tires have a harder time gripping, the steering wheel is angled about 5 degrees, and the brakes seem a little soft, the pedal seems to give less resistance.
i dont know what the other factors might be but i think one might be the alignment. i got an alignment 2-3 weeks ago with my lifetime firestone but i only trust 2 places in socal to do the job right, i dont know any reliable firestones or alignment shops in norcal. are there any near sac? also, what should i check for with the other problems?
heres some pix of the conditions...
