Your undercarriage will need to be examined. Potentially, there could be damage to your exhaust system and wheel axle apparatus. It is also possible that a piece of the log has attached itself to your car. Without knowing what the cause of the noise is, it is difficult to determine how much you will need to spend. With any luck, you may just need to replace some bolts.
