Skoda Fabia rattling/banging back wheel

    Hi

    I kerbed my car on Saturday before driving to work, noticed when i went above 50 or when a large vehicle (artic etc) went past it started making rattling/flapping sounds coming from the back offside wheel, so wondered i had got a puncture. My tyre looks fine, and there feels no difference in driving it at all, and driving it round town I forgot about it on Sunday. Driving to work today the same thing has happened and the noise is worse - it is like stones going round a washer plus scratching/crunching sounds when i go above 50 or when a bit vehicle drives past me! Just wondering if anyone knows if this could be the wheel alignment or if it sounds more like a bearing, and if it is safe to drive it home again and try and get it into the garage tomorrow?

    I would have a look at the rear suspension for damage or wear check the rear wheel bearing at the same time.
    Or you could call at a tyre depot, and ask them to have a look.
