hi guys, this is my first post and its a slightly embarrassing one.
Today I was parking up (a really wet muddy patch where I usually park when im running late for uni). As I was reversing out I heard the car scrape really badly (against a huge rock) and the only thing I could do was reverse out as it scraped as I moved forwards or backwards. Now there is something hanging under the car at the rear passenger side, my knowledge of cars is limited although I would say I know more than the average person, but just to be on the safe side I wanted to ask whats hanging off? could it just be an under guard? can I remove it and carry on driving? or should I put it back on properly. my one issue is the jack in my car is horrendous so I don't know if it would be easier just to rip it off. I know its stupid but it has me stressed right now! somebody help?!
PS il try to get a good picture if I can to show you guys.
thanks for reading any help is hugely appreciated!
