I was driving my car the other day and I hit the smallest bump. Then I heard this loud noise what seemed like the whole engine was dragging. I hurry up and pulled my car over. Got out of the car and looked under the car and seen that my engine was hanging lower on the driving side. Im assuming its a motor mount? But Im not sure.

Engine mounts are two pieces of metal with a rubber isolator between them. That rubber can deteriorate and allow the engine to droop. That's not a serious repair but not one to delay.
