something is really wrong with my b14( please help)
last December in my area there was a very bad ice storm. unfortunately i had to drive through because of a doctor's appointment. Enough said i hit some ice and slid into sign,a U-channel post.(honestly was going no more then 40mph. but anything and everything was ice) It put a nice size dent in my rear passenger panel. Do not know how i did but i missed the rear wheel by less then an inch. Now ever time i drive the car shakes loudly when i am in 45-65mph. its horrible and I can't take it no more. If I turn the wheel to the left its worse, if I turn right the car is perfectly quite(no problem at all) I have checked my tires and there is no unusually wear of the rubber. Now even inside the rear drivers side is giving a loud vibrating sound. Also the scariest thing i do no like is when i am driving the car it just randomly tweaks. like I am driving straight just cruising and out of know where the car just bumps itself to the right. Very scary because i don't want something worse to happen and all of the sudden crash.

Any ideas? frame damage maybe? i forget to take the pictures of the rear dent today but I will get them up tomorrow.

I'd look at the rear upper strut mount. It may have come loose or even sheared off the mounting bolts.

Take it to get the alignment checked. This might tell you something. Also take the tires to get balanced and see if that back one is off.

also
pull off the interior panels and see if anything is loose in there, like a bracing plate or something. that could be a viberating sound
