Hey, my car is a 00' Eclipse GS FWD with manual transmission. I was out for a stroll one night and I took a turn too fast when it was wet and ran up a curb. Immediatly after, I noticed a rough grinding noise in 1st and 2nd gear, sometimes even 3rd. When I got home I saw the radiator mount was bent upward and the radiator now sits higher so the hood wont shut flush. Also, the skidplate? I'm guessing, where the engine mount sits was scratched up; but the grinding noise is what I'm really concerned about. It seems to happen right as i'm letting off the clutch. I've also noticed this same exact noise when taking a sharp turn and running it hard. Anyone have any idea what this possibly could be? I've come up with some conclusions but would like to hear other thoughts.

I would check and make sure the tires arn't rubbing against anything?
