John,
I was thinking about accumulating salt while mucking around in some wet
areas or during a high speed pirouette (sounds so much more graceful than
"spin") while you're sideways. The dirt I picked up had been trapped inside
the wheel and had nowhere to be thrown off. It just packed there where it
had landed. At the speeds you're running in the Chevette it wouldn't take
much to produce a violent shake if you got a wheel out of balance.
