Drivetrain vibration?

so this morning it was extremely cold. i didnt give my car a good warm up before i started going. well heading out on the freeway i notice a lot of vibration coming from the steering wheel. to me thats what i seems like the drivetrain. if it was a alignment issue it would would not stop after it warms up right? well i notice when its park out, leaving for work in the afternoon its not that bad but still there and the more i drive it goes away. any ideas? with the evo do you need to let the drivetrain warm up or let the fluids inside warm up?

I agree 100%. Stock EVO tires stifen up in the cold and hang on to the flat spot from sitting over night untill they warm up a bit.

Nope it's fine.. the stiff springs and chassis of the car transmit the vibrations into the cabin.. Once the tires warm up it'll be fine... This will be much less of an issue in the summer for obvious reasons
