I drove with my parking brake on and after a few hundred feet, something snapped. The rear of the car now rides very bumpy

The bumpiness is still there, even on a smooth road.

You may have popped the park brake cable out of the backing plate causing brake parts to become loose. Have the brakes looked at soon.

SOURCE: going over bumps or bump roads, stearing shakes,pulls, at any speed fine after 15 min park

Please have a check at your steering rack and your shocks.

But I have a strong belief it could be your steering rack.

SOURCE: 1997 camry rattling noise when driving over bumpy

Not a very detailed description, but assuming the rattle is in front it may be bad shocks. A quick test would be to push down hard on the left fron of the car and let go, if the car springs back up and just stays there the shock is fine but if it comes up and dips down once again the shock is bad, it should come straight back up and stay there. Repeat on the other side.
If it were a knocking noise it would possibly be a ball joint.
Hope this helps.

SOURCE: airbag light is on

Air bag sensor got knocked loose and either needs to be replaced or needs to be re mounted. You may have to take it to a dealership to get them to figure out which one has gone

SOURCE: 1990 Toyota Camry Check Engine light problem.

The CEL means that the car's computer has detected an error in one of the car's systems. For cars of model years 1996 and later there is a standard connector in the car and you can hook up an OBD-2 code scanner to read the error code from the car's computer. However, for cars sold before 1996, there is no standard, so your best bet is to take the car to a mechanic who has experience with your make and model.

One thing you can try, to turn the light off, is disconnect your car's battery terminals for a few minutes. The CEL should be off when you restart the car. If the CEL stays off, then you're ok, because it may have come on due to a temporary condition somehow related to your parking brake, and the condition is resolved. However, if the CEL stays on or comes back on, this means you have a "hard" error code that definitely needs to be checked out.

In my opinion, although it is possible that the CEL and the parking brake are related, most likely it is just a coincidence that the CEL came on shortly afterward, and there is another cause for the CEL, that should be investigated.

Good luck and let me know if you have any questions.

I left my parking brake on for a few hundred yards and I heard a snap. Now the rear of the car drives very bumpy.

You likely ruined an axle bearing. Very serious.
It is also possible that you damaged brake components. Equally serious.
Have the car TOWED (do not drive it) to a garage for inspection.

I drove with my parking brake on and then heard something snap. Now in the rear of the car, it is very bumpy.t

You need to get those drums off & have the brakes checked. It's possible something broke inside the drum brake on one side. I've never seen or heard of it happening, especially after driving such a short distance, but anything is possible!

I heard something snap and then noticed that the rear of the car drives very bumpy

Can you provide more info? Did you hit a bump? What do you mean by 'drives bumpy?' Does it ride rough, or does it go up and down a lot after you hit a bump, or something else? Can you further describe the snap you heard, and what was going on when you heard it and immediately afterward (e.g., driving 40 mph on a paved road, hit a pot hole, heard a loud 'breaking' sound as if something snapped/broke, and the ride of the car seemed to immediately change to being more harsh/rough)? Have you had any work done recently, such as tires changed or rotated, struts replaced, wheel alignment, or brakes replaced? Did anything else change (e.g., now when you hit a bump, you hear a new noise in the rear)? Were you carrying anything heavy in the trunk or back seat? I had a '99 Corolla for several years, and had zero problems other than a worn out driver's door handle and a couple of cracked windshields. Great car choice!

Car dies when going over really bumpy roads

If the brake pedal goes hard right BEFORE the car dies, and not after, then you could have a problem INSIDE the brake power booster. try to verify this next time it dies at a stop, if you can safely pull the dead car off the road into a driveway (or try to make it stall in a bumpy parking lot) - then before you try to restart the car, open the hood, pull off the rubber hose where it's plugged into the brake power booster --> you SHOULD hear a big "Swoosh" of air being sucked into the booster because there's supposed to be a strong vacuum there even after the car stops running. if you get nothing there, your car is dying of an excessive vacuum leak through the brake booster.= bad booster.
