Answer
Hi Kristi,

Support the MC on a rear stand or other suitable tool and raise the rear wheel. Rotate the rear wheel slowly while looking and listening for the suspicious sounds. If necessary, looses caliper bolts, axle bolt, etc... and retorque or tighten them again. Gives them a chance to return "home."

P.S. Was it a low-side crash or a high-side? : )

Respectfully,
