Car makes metalic scraping/creaking sound
When I turn right I hear a sound comming from the rear passenger side. I'm wondering what parts would make that sound? I was in an accident and my car was hit on the rear drivers side and I'm wondering if anything on the passenger side could have been messed up and the shop didn't see it.
Also, I have had large heave subs in the trunk which may or may not have damaged the suspension.
Does anyone have any ideas what to check?

Anwser
a few weeks ago i brought my car into honda, only makes the noise while taking right turns. Does it only happen in 2nd gear? kinda sounds liek rocks getting thrown around in the wheel wells? thats what my problem was. Apparently there was a bulletin put out by honda regarding this issue. There was also other ones like the hybrid does it turning left and right, etc. But i only payed attention to my 2003 EX Coupe.
The anwser was, while in second gear, i cant remember exactly, but something in the gear box was hitting some flap or something in it, resulting in the noise. sorry i couldnt be more specific lol but i cant remember the exact names. But they said its purely an annoiance and will not cause any parts to fail. To get it fixed its about $300. So just turn up the radio or turn in third gear lol

the rear can creak and lubing the rear sway bushing will help if thats the problem. mine makes all sorts of noises but i have lowering springs.
