Default Hit a boulder, now strange noises.

i hit a boulder today while driving around in the desert with some friends. My fan shroud broke, however while I am driving the fan sounds like its rubbing on something. I parked it and attempted to see what it was rubbing on, however in idle its just fine?

Is the fan rubbing on the shroud when there is torque on the engine?

Sounds like you're in store for some new motor and transmission mounts.
