I have a 2012 Odyssey that was recently rear-ended (garden variety fender bender) and we noticed a new clunking noise in the rear of the vehicle has begun. It is primarily noticed when turning up an incline at low speeds (right turns) OR even backing out of our inclined driveway (right turn). A similar noise occurred when we bought the vehicle (used) about a year ago from a dealer and they identified it as a "cracked and separating Spring Isolator" and replaced it. It seemed to have taken care of the issue until our recent accident.

QUESTION: Is it even possible that a rear-end fender bender impact could have damaged/affected this "Spring Isolator" part in such a way that the noise began again? I want to suggest to a local mechanic to check for this first IF this is a possibility. Thanks!
