Engine Mount?
After hitting a sticking out sewer in a construction zone, Huge problems came up.
2000 TT 180q
After replacing the flat tire
than replacing the bearings
the car curves to the left (driver side) when hitting the gas.. car drives straight when let off gas and just Cruz...
also after lifting up the car and doing full exam I noticed that the wheel gap is about 4in, than after turning the wheel left to right.. it drops to like 2in (other side stays the same)
that same wheel also rubs agiants the body and inter cooler pipe when turning left?
can this be a bad motor mount?
I went to a local Just tires for alignment and the guy said based on what I told him that it is a motor mount, I wanted to know what you guys think and if anyone else had this problem?
(after $1000's spent on fixing and maintaining this car I still love driving it but holy crap would I think 2x knowing how many problems this car has "not that others dont")
I would really appreciate any help i can get

you can look at all 3 motor mounts w/o much problem or work.
remove plastic on pass. side of motor and then move all the stuff under it out of the way. you can do this w/o disconnecting it. you'll see the aluminum motor mount under there and see if it's broken.
remove intake and you can see drivers side
remove belly pan and you can see dogbone and inspect.
Are you also sure you didn't bent a front control arm?
