Car shakes while coasting

Well, today was the first day of snow. The saturn was out and enjoying the scenery. As I was on a backroad going around a turn, my power inverter that i have stored under the dash slid out on the gas pedal, and when i gave it gas, the pedal went down farther than expected. needless to say, i slid into a ditch and had a friend pull me out. I didn't slide into the ditch very hard. it was pretty much even: the front and back both went at the same time. so, we tied the chain to the little hook on the back of the car, and pull it out. As i was going down the road, at about 45 or so, it seemed fine. when i let off the gas, the car will shake pretty bad. i don't know if this has anything to do with a motormount or possibly the axel? Can anyone guide me on how to fix this?

I'd take it to someone who knows what they are looking for. Have them check the suspension components and the axles and such. I don't know what "wheels" you have on it but maybe one got slightly bent or you broke a chord in your tires but i'd imagine you'd feel that in all driving situations.

Sounds like you have bent something. Get it checked out.

It went away. I guess it was the mudd and snow up in the wheel that was throwing it off balance. It's all goo now. Thanks.

it could be a possibility that ya knocked the car outta alignment if you fell into the ditch kinda hard

When I got it out of the ditch, I drove it home. On my way home, it was shaking. So, I pulled the wheelcover off, and sprayed in there and let eveything melt and it now went away.
