Need help

stupidly after not driving my car for a year and a bit i decide to fix what needed to be fix and take it out so i did, got stuck in a rain shower, had some fun, heard something braking, now in any gear when giving it throttle the passenger side of the car has a shaking/vibration coming from that side, i was told prob broken axel that hasn't fully broken yet, any ideas anyone?

If you heard breaking and are getting vibrations isolated to one side, I would check that axle. Since you put "having some fun" I'm gonna assume you mean driving a bit crazy, so that would be my first guess as well.

yea spun the tires a little bit, the next day i took it out to see if it was still there it was, so i did a 1st and 2nd gear burn out and nothing broke, i dont wanna spend the money on a axle not know for sure. guess im gonna have to, as well check the hub! never thought of that

I wouldn't be doing too many burnouts or you might end up needing a new transmission on top of an axle or hub

sounds like an axle to me. if you keep driving on it it will get worse, and then break.
