grr... front end smacked the ground... speedbump!
hello ht'ers...
so today i was getting out of the mall like i always do. im driving at about 30mph, and i always go over this speedbump at this speed. however, today as i go over the speedbump i hear a loud THWACK! and my front end proceeds to slam towards the ground.
now im kinda worried, could i have possibly damaged anything? i kinda went down to check, but it was too dark to see anything. i know theres a big plastic thing to prevent rocks or pebbles from hopping up into the engine bay, but other than that, what else is down there?
thanks.

jesus, i hope its not a big bump...
everything should be good... if you have an oil spot or coolant spot under your car in the morning you should worry a little bit, but if its dry i wouldnt fret...

Headers is anything, i've seen headers into the oil pan. But if anything you just flatened out the headers
