Rubbing sound from rear passenger wheel

delta-9-ginseng · 10-10-2015, 03:45 AM

So unfortunately, someone backed into me today, and left minor damage to above the passenger side wheel well and some damage to the rear passenger wheel. Now, unfortunately when I am driving it I feel a slight rub occurring in that area. Do you think there is more significant damage besides the basic cosmetic damage we see here in the pictures that could contribute to the rubbing? Maybe a alignment out of sync? The other car was a Mini cooper so I'm guessing more or less the same height as my car and it just so happen to knock my wheel out of sync. I already filed a insurance claim and I have a adjuster coming to look at the car on Monday. Nonetheless, luckily no one was hurt and it's a just life, you move on...

I attached some pics of the damage...

Any similar stories or ideas??
