So I have a chevy aveo, my sister was driving it and ran over something going about 50 mph. The bumper has some white scratches on it and she tore part of the skid plate off. (that black thing under it?) well now when accelerating from a stop there is a very slight low grown and the car vibrates a little when at a stand still. What could this be?I mean I wont be home till tomorrow but what do you think it could be?

haha, I'mma try to look at it tomorrow or day after. I mean she said she didnt hit it with the tire so it must of hit something under the car. But how bad could it be really?My thoughts were these 3:Cracked oil panExhaust leakand finally which I would worry about most is the drive shaft. But idk. I have limited knowledge on this which is why I'm here.

and if not take it to carX. Free evaluation.

Sounds like she might have screwed up a pulley, or an accessory mount and that's what's causing the vibration.

If you're worried about leaks, you can always toss some cardboard under the engine bay to help any fresh drips show up clearly.

The only way to tell is to get under there and look.

SO much could have gone wrong there, you really need to take it to a good mechanic to tell.
