Need some help, strange vibration.

[pro1biz]

So a bit of background info on the events leading up to the strange vibration I'm dealing with. About a month and a half ago I lost control of my car and it slid into a ditch. Only slight body damage and a bent tie-rod, no big deal. I repaired the tie-rod and had the car aligned, everything seemed normal again. For Christmas, I got a set of snow tires for my rear wheels and had them mounted and balanced. I drove the car with the new tires for a few days and didn't notice much difference except they break loose easier than before Anyways, recently my car has had a very strange vibration at around +/- 2000rpm. If I rev the engine in neutral it vibrates, it also does it in gear most notably first and reverse. It feels like it is underneath the car towards the back, not from the engine. I have no idea what it could be, but any advice would be awesome.

I'd say check your mounts firstly, start with the easiest and work your way to the hardest explanation. If it does it in neutral as well then I don't think that its the drive shaft. Might even be the exhaust. Best thing to do is to get under the car and check. The thing to remember is that the engine is connected to the exhaust and the exhaust goes all the way to the back of the car so any vibration could be transferred. Things like this are hard to pin point unless you are there, so I hope this helps.

I don't think it's the exhaust because its a fairly significant vibration which makes me think it's some kind of mount.

There is another thread on here that someone found out they had a vibration and it turned out to be sub frame bushings, diff, and drive shaft. You should definitely get under the car and check. If you said that the vibration is there when you put it in neutral then it has to do something with the motor. I would first check to see how your motor and transmission mounts are.

What exactly am I looking for? I'm assuming that they are originally plastic and a bad one would be cracked or something noticeable. Am I assuming correctly?

If the vibration stops when the clutch is pressed (disengaged) then you have a transmission problem

Is it possible that this was happening before she got banged up? Do you think it started as a result of it? Or did it just start afterwards, possibly not related?

I'm positive it didn't vibrate before the accident. I can't tell if the vibration is accident related because it was fine after I fixed it and had it aligned, the vibration didn't start happening until shortly after changing to snow tires. The vibration has since become less noticeable/severe and much less frequent. I'm not as concerned as I was about it.
