Thumping Sound from Rear passenger side of CLK550

I drove over a pothole the other night and after that a sound similar to that of tapping every time i go over small bumps. Roadside said it might be a blown suspension, I think a might be a bent rim. The dealer won't check it till thursday so was wondering if it is bad to drive it in the meantime, and how would a bent rim act?

Could it be Billy Batts?

Guess you would have had to seen Goodfellas for that one.

I think your problem may be with the engine. I think it may be the lifters.

The dealer fixed it, it was a blown shock.

Nah, that Brookyln goomba was already taken care of years ago.
