Engine shakes/grinds when turning wheel Sign In

So I'm automotive ignorant. Here is my situation. I have a 2004 Hyundai Electra. When I turn the wheel to the right or left 75% of the time the engine moves and there is a grinding or clunking noise. It only happens when the car is in drive or reverse and the brake pedal is pressed down. So it starts that shaking when the wheel hits the 10 or 2 spot on the wheel. It doesn't happen with it is in park. The other day I slammed on the breaks at a stop and burned rubber. I also hit a curb on the right that same day. I had a suspension guy I know take a quick look and he says there is a lot of engine movement and thinks I should try changing the torque mount whatever that is. He thinks when I slammed on the breaks it moved the engine. But why would it grind when the break is pressed and the wheel is turned? does this sound like a mount issue or like a break issue? Could it be a cv joint or something? Have to drive to a new job this week and hope it's nothing serious. Any thoughts from knowledgable people would be appreciated. Thanks.

Many symptoms on your list could be motor mounts they are called. Noises from engine moving too much can make assorted noises including exhaust parts.
You've slammed on brakes and wheel skid - anti-lock or not hit them hard enough they will or can.
Bounced off a curb or whatever so add that as a full check of front end and tire and wheel involved.
Brake and steering I bet you are sitting still. Try just the slightest motion of the car and you will stress out the pump and no scrub tires so much.
IMO and you said cars aren't your thing then find a good shop and tell them the list of complaints and check it all out.

Hey - Buick made the Electra, Hyundai makes an Elantra. I make more than my share of typos and errors but get that right if making an appointment,
