Hey guys, i lost control and slid my car off the road. I heard something under the car hit the edge of the road, but not too hard. Now, when i take off in 1st i can hear and feel through the gas pedal a sort of rubbing and kinda muffled clanking noise. I also hear like something moving around under the car if i get on it in 3rd gear or up and im in high RPM's. And if i turn right and give gas, i hear serious rubbing and feel it through the pedal. It seems to come from the middle or alittle more forward. I got under and saw no visible damage. Anyone wanna help me out? Im gonna take it to a shop and get a free estimate and find out what it is. PLEASE HELP

Have you noticed any loss of power ?

Since you checked for hanging debris, that rules out one possibility. My next guess would be to check your exhuast connections and transmission. Make sure nothing is broken or loose.

hmm.. peharps it's your exhaust pipes being mislocated? when I first installed my exhaust I hear the noise whenever I reverse/take off... it was the magnapack pipe on passenger side that hits the car frame..

Well, hopefully its just my exhaust rubbing. I need to get the car up on stands and check. ON of my mufflers looks to be crooked, meaning something moved. Its just that i don't see why it would sound like it near the middle or front if its all the way in the back.
