Vibration

Not sure what the heck I did this time around, but I came back from grocery shopping with a LOAD of stuff and completely forgot the extra weight going over a speed bump in my comunity. Needless to say I bottomed out. Now while I'm under hard acceleration I get a clicking noise (cruising you dont hear it), and I am getting a vibration (feels like from the rear). The vibration feels like one of those hand massagers vibrating the car only at a certain speed. I can hit the clutch and coast at that speed and still feel the vibration.

Could I have mess up the drive shaft???

Any sugesstions appreciated. 85 GSL

You might have thrown a wheel weight off, or maybe messed up a ujoint. Put the car in 1st gear (motor off) and rock the car back and forth while listening for any clunking/squeaking noises from the drive train...
