Ok so today while driving around in the great state of Ohio, I was going through an intersection at perfectly normal intersection speed, and I hit the biggest pothole ever. My car is lowered so it just magnified the damage by 10. I pulled over to assess the damage. Some of the under suport structures in the middel of the car got a nice new shine put on them, but that was all I thought happened. Alas, I was wrong, now whenever I let off the gas I can hear a ratteling. It kinda sounds like leafs stuck in tire spokes. It's comming from my right rear tire area. I hope it has nothing to do with my exhaust but that is on that side too. And maybe the only reason I hear it when I'm off the gas is because my muffler isn't making any noise. I did a long hard visual comparison of my rear tires from under the car and found nothing. I thought my car just bottumed out judging by the marks in the middle of the under carriage, but i don't know how that could make that sound at the rear. Please help me. Let me know if anyone out there has had simmilar expirences and the actions they took to correct them.

It could really be a number of things. The first thing I would check is to get under the car and see if the exhaust is slightly loose somewhere (disclaimer: wait a while after driving for the exhaust to cool off, it gets pretty damn hot). That seems the most likely problem to me.
