This is odd but the passenger side engine mount that sits inside the timing belt area has sheered the 2 bottom bolts clean off that secured the mount to the engine and left part of the bolts in the engine block and left 1 remaining bolt that slightly bent but held the mount and the engine 3" lower then normal. I have removed the sheered bolts from the block and replaced the everything back to normal but now the CV or wheel bearing is making a rotational noise that worsens with speed.

So the question is could the 5 miles that I drove the car after the bolts were sheered off due to hitting a pot hole have bent the CV enough to destroy the ball bearing inside the cv joint or messed with the wheel bearing on the driver's side?

It was probably damaged in the first 5 seconds after motor dropped. By the way the bolts breaking are usually cuz they are to torqued correctly after a timing belt replacemt

Make sure the axle is not bent.

Might want to check the dog bone as well, might be beat and allowed the motor to move enough to shear the bolts off when you hit the pot hole.
