How bad were you rearended? Is your rearend making funny noises? I'm thinking maybe it got damaged it you got hit hard enough, and isn't working properly now

i got hit about 20 mph or so. the rear makes a popping noise at very very low speed sometimes now, like under 5 mph. and it doesnt exactly drive like it used to but i thought that maybe it was just me...

Get under there and inspect for damage to the
exhaust (bad kink would kill power) and to the
fuel lines (ditto). I think these are your likeliest
suspects. Also a chance the impact loosened a
fuel pump ground or connector, etc. which could
just make it weak. A fuel pressure gauge would
indicate that.
