Bad Vibration

Today I had to lock up the brakes for about 10 feet causing the tires to smoke. After that happened, I noticed the car was vibrating bad. Im scared I wore down the tires and created a flat spot

I dont think it could be the driveshaft, but I'm definately going to check the yoke tomorrow.

Anybody have a clue as to what might have happened?

You car is hot.
There, it had to be said.



You shouldn't be able to get a flat spot on the tires that quick. Something probably shifted, and now is out of balance.... Trans mount comes to mind. Maybe some rear suspension that is loose?
