Took the car out a few weeks ago and a truck in front of me dropped a rock while doing 70 and I couldn't get out of the way. Rock was about the size of a softball or bigger, couldn't avoid it. Heard a loud bang and car jolted hard, was able to limp it home but drove fine. Took the car out for a little spin today and find the rear end is leaking pretty bad and the car will shake like Michael J Fox is driving above 35mph. No clue what to look for. But going to see if it's a dented wheel or possible a dented drive shaft....I have no idea at this point, guess I'll know tomorrow.

Well I just got the car back to my house. Here are the results.
Leaking rear gasket leaking and will need to be replaced (didn't need to open it up) and will be buying 4.10 gears. Thinking about going with Motive.
Oil pan gasket is leaking clear as day, still not sure when I'll about replacing that one.
Found power steering fluid ALL OVER the place. But when Brad repaired my freeze plug, he spilled a lot of fluid removing the reservoir. I'll get that all cleaned up and see if it's just from the spill, or actually leaking.
The actual problem, was easily Identified in good light. Took the passenger side wheels off again, and noticed the bend in the front wheel had gotten worse from when I put them on initially. tried to balance the wheel, and after a few turns it was obvious the wheels was bent to hell. So I'll be trying to find a shop that might be able to fix the wheel. I don't want to replace it, because it's impossible to find the OEM competition gray wheels.
So the paint correction will have to wait until winter at this point. But new wheel and gears are at the top of the list.

They have only seen 20 miles thus far. I've heard a tiny bit of whine at about 40-45, but it might be my speakers. Couldn't really tell to be honest. But I've read they are awesome if you are just driving the car for fun on weekends and what not. So we'll see once they are broken in and I can play a bit. Just feels nice to have the car running properly again.
