I got the shakes - Toyota Yaris Forums

So shortly after getting new tires, cleaning my car and engine bay top and bottom, as well as cleaning my battery terminals to a glowing sheen, I raced to get home and went down a "ramp" that turned out to actually be a curb...both tires hopped the curb and pretty harshly hit something underneath the engine. I was doing about 15mph but I haven't been able to find any sign of damage underneath at all.

Right after that my car refused to start, but it turned out that my terminals were loose so I tightened those and that was fine. But ever since, when stopped with the engine on, I can feel the entire car shaking as if the engine mount is loose or something. I'll be taking my car to get it checked out at the dealers, but I'd like to know if anyone has similar experience, or know what could be causing this.
