Right rear tire skips Hello everyone. I hope someone here can help me out with this.
About a week ago I hit a pothole coming out of a gas station, the only wheel that hit it was the rear right side. Since then when I take off quickly from a dead stop the tire feels like it skips or bounces just once then rolls fine after that.
The car in question is a 2000 Firebird. I got underneath it but I found nothing that looks damaged. Tomorrow I will be taking of the wheel and hand turning it to see if I feel anything off.
If anyone has type of information that can help me figure out the problem, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for your time.

Took it in to get the tires rebalanced but no luck. They said they can hear some noise from the right side of the LSD.
Just for them to the cover off and inspect it would run me $130.
That amount wouldn't be an issue but the damn VA is screwing around with my money and I am extremely tight on cash. Do I have any other options on how to go about getting this fixed?
Edit: Ok so I found out I have a G80 LSD. If I were to have to replace it, would I be able to just buy another G80 or am I looking for a specific one? (I don't know too much about mechanical work, just enough to get by. I wish this was an electrical problem then I would of been set haha.)
