Broke Something

I got ran off the road yesterday, some dumbass was in my lane, and now my car is idling VERY rough. It still seems to drive fine and seems normal except for a little more roughness. I'm thinking broken motor mount. Any other ideas?

If your RPMs aren't dipping but its idling rough, its more than likely the motor mounts.

I have 2 mounts with the inserts all shredded so its basically metal on metal.
Idles like a vibrator.

yeah, same thing's happening to me. It's running fine

gotta check out the suspension too, making a few clicking sounds......not the CV kind, but something in the steering

check all suspension parts, and rear sway bar could be broken too.

rain finally stopped, went and checked it

broken mount, luckily it's the top one on the drivers side, so now all I gotta do is fix it.

Some 240 guys and an RX-7 owner have used hockey pucks as inserts before. Sound like too dumb of an idea to try?

if I had a rear sway bar 2001 LX, didn't come with one and haven't put one on yet.

However, good call........I'll definetly have to check the front one

might be time for the Progress kit like I've been wanting.
