Driveline vibration after rear tire gouge

I will check the arm bushings.. they are poly all around.

Did the curb incident cause the issue or the work the shop performed on the car?

Could the driveline balance have been disturbed by the shop?

I did strip the weights off of that wheel and had it balanced. They put the same 6 oz. of weight back on it.

I don't the shop did anything funky.. I was out there watching a lot, and it was strictly exhaust work done on a drive on lift (the wheels and tires were not hanging).

I wish I did. I guess I should try to replace both of the rears to see what happens.

A driveshaft/u-joint balance problem will be a much higher frequency vibration than a tire vibration and should be easy to tell the difference.
