Angry I got my rx-7 stuck in a lake gordged road

umm yeah,I was searching for a friends house in the country and i took a road turn down a muddy road and well when i turned the corner it was all over,it was muddy to start so i could turn around so i had to go foward and foward was gordge,so i started to walk ,and finally someone helped me out with a tractor bt the crappy thing is the car got drug through a ditch and served as a road manitence machine,making a clean cut ditch,the whole right side of car was mud and the whole under body was too.we finally got it out and i'm home now but i have one problem,the car shakes really bad at arond 50mph now,i'm not sure why but it took it to a car wash when mud was still wet and tired to clean underbody on right side but it still did it bad.any ideas on what may be wrong here ??

might wanna check for any mud and crud still in the wheels possibly unbalancing things.

Also, I recenlty got stuck in a huge puddle.....don't ask....but my starter got buried and now is not spinning. Just something to look for.

I'm sure glad I don't live in Texas... Here in CA they pave the roads

I guess back there they think everyone is a "Ford truck man"

I would take the RX in to a alighnment or body shop... if somthing got tweaked it's not going to be safe to drive till you fix it.. It's not worth hurting yourself, or a someone else. Or the car for that matter

Make sure the drive shaft didn't get bent.

More than likely, if you just buried it and was not going fast, you probably got mud and guck in the wheels. When you spray them off, be sure to get in the back of the wheels. Mud will hide there and make your wheels out of balance.
