I was driving on 880 on a rainy day and there was a huge ass pothole that i didnt see and ran over it. the car went "KUPLUNK!!!". i was pissed but forgot about it.

while driving to Santa Cruz to pick up a silvia, it was raining super hard on 17...(crazyness...i will neverdrive on 17 on a rainy day again). i was going uphill and all of a sudden, i felt a violent vibration and knocking under my car when i was climbing uphill. it felt as if a cone was stucked under my car and i was dragging it. it also kinda felt like i had a flat tire. i thoguth i ran something over like a peice of ripped tire on the raod. so i pulled over, got my jacket and jecked under my car. at first, i thought it was my exhaust rattling against my differential but i doubted it. i looke daround at all my rods and suspension...didnt see anything wrong. so i thought id wait to go home to be completely under my car.

after i stopped to look at ti on the side of the road, the whole way to santa cruz, i didnt even experience another violent attack...until my cousin was driving it back and i was on the passenger's seat. the thing is, you cant even feel it on the passenger's side or on the back...only the drivier's side. my cousin got hella scared so we pulled over to a gas station. i jacked up the car with the cheap ass jack that comes with the car. still...i didnt see shit.

it was going on on and off for a little bit whikle we proceeded driving, and then out of no where it just stopped. the ride felt perfrectly normal. when i got back to my city, my car was riding as smooth as butter.

i waited for everything to get dry so i can jack up my car. i jacke dmy car with real jacks this time with jack stands...looked under my car and did not see a THING...NOTHING...NADA...

what can be wrong? i dont wanna drivie ti a lot because im afraid itll fuck soemthing up and ill be screwed. i wanna figure out what that vibreation was before i start driving again.

possibly bushings

all my bushings look ok, except for my t/c bushings. theyre a bit ripped up...but i odnt think it would cause that much vibration.

i dont want to admit it, but i kinda think it has something to do with my transmission/driveshaft or differential. hoping its not...
