Help: Thoughts/advice needed
On my way into work this morning I hit a rough spot in our lovely CA highways and bottomed out at highway speeds. Immediately after I noticed an apparent change in engine/exhaust sound coming from the passenger from portion of the car. I was able to continue driving, and made it to work a few miles later. If feels as if I may have lost some acceleration/torque, but this could also be because I was hesitant to push it after the sound change. I didn't notice change in exhaust smell.
When revving the engine with the car not in gear, the noise is still noticed, but not as apparent as when under load. ( I didn't have someone with me to rev while I was outside of the car) I've also noticed what feels like increased engine torque when revving and the car not in gear.
A quick look under the hood doesn't reveal anything. Likewise, the exhaust components under the car, from what I can see, look intact.
My initial thoughts are that it is something in the exhaust system I cannot see at present, or less likely I broke an engine mount.
Any thoughts from the forum is appreciated. Specifically, your thoughts on what has happened, and if driving home (~15mi) is advisable.
Thanks and will be in/out the next hr seeing patients.
