So last night i was drifting in a rock parking lot. Had my fun, then got stuck in the mud. So i called my hick friends with their big F150 trucks to pull me out. They pulled me out successfully and the car drives fine up to around 45-50mph. Once i start going above 50 i can feel a wobble/vibration coming from the rear of the vehicle...seems like the driver side. Now when the pulled me out, they pulled to the side somewhat, via the towhook on the passenger side in the rear. So my question, when they drug me out could something have bent and now cause this vibration at speed. Or could it be my tires froom doin the dori dori?

It drove without a wobble before the mud accident

u prolly have some mud stuck in your wheel, causing it to become unbalanced. same thing has happened to me w/ snow.

yep, i went up to the snowy mountains, and did some stupid dorifto in the parking lot, i had snow like in all 4 wheels i guess, it was hopping and jumping madly. give it a while, if it dosent go away, stick a hose under the side u feel the wobble, and see if you can shoot some dirt, or kittens out

those kittens can take a while to remove. such a PITA.
