Default Need help troubleshooting this sound...

A couple weeks ago, as some of you may know, I hit a cinder block that was laying in the middle of the street. Luckily I got away with only a bent rim. I have a new set of wheels and tires on there now and it's been a week+ since I got them. Last night on my way home from work, a rattling sound started grabbing my attention out of nowhere. I was with a friend and we were both surprised at how sudden this problem came about. It's a metallic rattling sound coming from the passenger side wheel area. I guess it could be anything. I was thinking something might've came loose when I hit the block and is just now manifesting itself through this awful noise. Has anything similar ever happened to anyone?

Do you have vibration now?
Check strut mount bolts.
