I'll try to be short with this as I know I tend to babble so here goes.
Couple weeks ago I'm pulling into my friends house up a little bit of a hill and I blinked at the wrong time and dropped my front left tire off into a washed out spot between two chunks of concrete. This is the kind of concrete that you can tell was just poured down the hill to get rid of the extra and the weakest spot washed out and cracked through. She went down all the way to the frame laying on the concrete. I wasn't going more than maybe 5 or 10 cuz I was pulling in to park but when she went down it was dead stop instantly, no momentum to push through, she got stuck. I tried to rock her out, didn't hear any scraping but that could be due to the exhaust I've got, she wasn't budging. I don't have posi so one tire started spinning and left me with nothing. Tiff's dad came and pulled her out but they didn't wait for me to come outside, they just tied up and yanked her out so I don't know how hard they yanked, if they were careful to turn the wheel or anything.
Now when I'm taking off, barely crawling there's this moaning sound in that left front up there that goes with the tires rotation. Does that make sense? It's kinda hard to describe a sound like that. It's stops when I get up over about 5 mph and after I've gone a ways it doesn't come back. I don't have the foggiest clue what I've done to it but I'm pretty worried about it. I've crawled under there and I can't see anything wrong but I don't really know what I'm looking at/for. The frame has evidence of rubbing against the concrete from where I was rocking it or where they yanked her out, I don't know.
Any ideas, suggestions, help, everything is appreciated!
Also, how bad is it to keep driving it? Ugly's down for the count unless by some miracle she starts and even then that back glass will probably fall out the first time she moves... *shaking my head*
