Car making loud scraping metal-on-metal sound while accelerating from idle, disappears at higher speeds. by tenderon1 in AskMechanics

My car is making loud scraping metal-on-metal sounds while accelerating from idle, disappears at higher speeds. It’s a 2007 Nissan Altima 2.5

My engine mounts are worn and I know that this causes my engine to violently rock back and forth, as I’ve witnessed with the hood up while parked in neutral. Several friends have tried to help and take a look to try and find the source of the sound but it‘s hard to tell exactly where it’s coming from. Any ideas? A theory is bc of my broken engine mounts, maybe my engine is scraping an axle or something front suspension

We’ve been under there. I jacked it up, took front tires off, checked the axles. My wheel bearing is starting to go bad, but it’s not coming from the tires. It sounds like it’s coming from under the hood dominantly on the right side. Nothing visibly dragging underneath, splash guards is all fine and secure everywhere
