   Could it be engine mount causing the engine to move back and forth?

   You got warned about slowing down before
   
   Consider lucky to have only snapped an engine mount this time.

   May have snapped an engine mount.
   
   Remove them one by one and check for cracks or breaks.

   Well you've been told... Check your tyre (both side walls) and rim thoroughly too, wishbone / suspension etc.

   could be the bolt that holds the top right engine mount to the engine mount frame, this has happened to mine in the past
