300E a couple 1994 w124wagon E320 Wagon/,1971MGB Track/Rally, MG Midget Autocross ,2000 E320 wagon.
Could be suspension noise from the use of the donut
or you could have bent something. Either way you need to inspect it. Your car insurance might cover the repair.Report the hole to the city.
What were you on the Cross Is.?

What rims? Fat fives? If so, i have never seen an easier wheel to bend in my life. I'm on 3 bent ones myself.....
and the noise needs to be checked out as that sounds bad and seriously doubt the sound has anyhting to do with the donut spare.
