[QUOTE="singlespeed, post: 153358, member: 264"] Hopefully its just the gearbox mount that sheared due to the sideways loading and the engine/box ended up sitting in a different position. It probably won't sound right as it will now be resting on the subframe so theres no noise/vibration damping as well as the alternator rubbing. The mounts are generally a weak point to limit the damage to that, instead of a cracked casing Alternatively, the subframe moved over from the impact force transfered through the wheel and lower wishbone, taking up all the free play in the driveshaft. This pushed the gearbox hard enough to break the mounting and push the whole lot over :? [/QUOTE]
