Unhappy Vibration Caused by Too Much Weight?

Guys,

Need some help here on diagnosis. I moved about 300lbs of garden supplies the other day in the back of my MP5. I spread the weight around, but it was certainly centered toward the rear of the car given the Hatchback design. Got home late and in the dark and did not unload until the morning. When I drove the unloaded car yesterday, I had a minor though constant vibration I could feel in the steering wheel.

Anyone have any ideas on what I might have damaged by leaving all that weight in the rear of the MP5 overnight? Shocks? Wheels? Springs? Tires? Something else?

What have I likely flattened?

baffled. 300lbs isn't much (two people?) so i doubt they are related. Did you pick up a rock in the tread? Did a wheel weight fall off?
