Hey there forum, So my SC sat for a few months through a pretty harsh winter, and when i started it up and took it for a little drive it immediately started making this really loud bang and it "VIOLENTLY" shakes the car. It does it at low speeds when turning and it does it when driving in a straight line, I haven't driven it far at all because it feels like my wheels are literally perpendicular to the road, I got out and had my buddy drive around my parking lot and while looking under the car while it was rolling it looks like there may be a bind in the drive shaft maybe? ANY help with this would be extremely valued.

Your drive shaft has a center support that is also a bearing, it also has a universal after the support. I would guess it is the universal joint. The bearing makes a vibration and " whooshing" noise when it goes bad. [i just replaced both of mine]
