Noise from Right Rear (archive)

There are some strange noises coming from the right rear of my E28 M5. One is a metal on metal clacking or tapping sound that is most noticeable at low speeds. It is definitely speed or "rotation" related. The other is a clanking sound like something is loose. There is nothing visibly loose or out of place, either in the trunk or underneath. The clanking seems like it might be coming from the shock tower. The two noises don't seem to be related.

One more bit of information. The car was hit in the right rear quarterpanel a couple of years ago. The damage was fairly minor and was repaired. Could something have been damaged or knocked loose that is just now becoming a problem?

Any insights would be appreciated.
