Thumbs up Weird noise/vibration when turning left slowly

So I was driving around town today and hit some pretty crazy potholes. After a while I noticed a shiver-ish feeling when im steering to the left. Turning to the right is no problem, but when turning left or even going down a straight road, the car makes a weird noise as if your driving on a road of speed bumps (i dont know how else to describe it) it also makes the steering wheel shiver / vibrate a little as if its unstable. This may be in my head, but it also feels as though right turns are more "tight" and left turns are more "loose".

My guess is a broken sway bar end link. But then again, im not too sure and its kind of late to jack up the car.

What do you guys think?

It sounds like it is quite possible that you broke the LSD inside the rear differential.

If you get a sort of clicking (like a playing card in a bike wheel) sound when making a turns or going straight this could be your problem.

When you went over the bumps in the road the rear wheels bounced over them. If you were accelerating during this, it could have caused this damage.
