So I was driving about 20mph this evening, and didn't see a pothole, but all of a sudden BOOM BOOM.

Rims look ok, but rear one has a super minor bend. Probably unnoticeable to most, but I feel like I can see it.

But now when I push up and down on the rear of the car I hear like a clicking sound.

I had my brother push up and down on the car, and looked under there with a flashlight, and it seems to be coming from the shock area.

Think I should take it to dealer see if they can tighten something or think I'm SOL and should fight the city to fix this or what do you guys suggest?

I plan on replacing the rims when I need new tires so think I can hold out on new rims til then.

Take it to the dealer and don't say anything about hitting a pothole. Maybe the noise has always been there but now that you know something happened you're noticing it. I hate when something happens to our cars that no one can notice but that we know is there. My wife always tells me, you can even notice and my response is, "IT DOESN'T MATTER CAUSE I KNOW IT'S THERE!"
Good Luck!
