can you describe the vibrating noise besides "a funny" ??

if the tires didnt make the noise after you changed them, you shouldnt need to rebalance them if you didnt do anything with the tires after the drop. if you just dropped it, then you shouldnt have any weird wear w/o the camber...but i would install a kit ASAP!

not quite sure what you mean by the rear drivers side being bent. the rim? the axle? what is bent? chances are you dont want to be driving with ANYTHING bent on your car. thats not safe. if the rim/wheel is bent, that might be whats making the noise and vibration. take of the wheel and inspect it and make sure that its ok. if not, go fix it or buy a new one.

if nothing is bent, and the vibrating noise is a humming, then that could just be an aggressive tread pattern. some tires are really loud, some are quiet. what kind of tires are you driving on?

anyway, good luck with it.

if theyre humming at the same rate, and the car doesnt shake, then its probably because youre riding on a different part of the tire tread and it sounds louder than what its supposed to. get a camber kit and put it on before you screw up the tires.

after you put the camber kit on, go to a tire place, or any shop that can do it, and check your alignment and other things (not sure what theyre called...PM grey about it) to make sure that your wheels are pointing in the propper direction and angle.

i would seriously go check what that bent thing was too, because even if its not causing the noise, you dont want to be driving with anything bent. its dangerous.

You probably killed the tires cuz they're rolling on edge. The noise is probably because you wrecked the sidewall and its soft and squishy. Search around, there's some wonderful pictures of what drops and huge camber does as far as ****ing up the rim and tire. So get some camber arms, get some new tires now too, make sure the rim isn't smashed, then get it aligned. In the front, thats the toe, camber and caster, in the rear its the toe and camber. Factory specs are in the suspension forum, just search for them.
