Earlier today a driver in front of me decided to back up while stopped at a stop sign. Despite my loud voice and horn, he continued to back straight into me. The impact was slow speed and occurred square against the front end, hitting the badge bar, tires and air cleaner (I think). Although there is no visible or obvious cosmetic damage, I now have an audible "clink" sound every time I turn left or right. The sound only happens once or twice with each turn before going silent. The sound is very reminiscent of a pebble knocking of the under body. I have inspected for wheel bearing damage by attempting to push and pull the tires both vertically and horizontally, checked the motor mounts, inspected break rotors and calipers for looseness as well as the steering tie rod ends. Everything appears tight. I could use some experienced feed back on what else to check.
Thanks,
