Default noise from rear suspension area after repair

someone hit my left rear side,the rear wheel was bent in a bit and rear frame was damaged.i found a good mechanic who found a frame off a 99 accord mine is 02..he said they are the same. he replaced the rear frame and one upper control arm total cost $500 so ok so far i hope seemed like a good price ..its a major job to replace the rear frame ....well there is a humming noise about 28 miles to 65 miles per hour..now.and feels a bit rough .it could be a wheel bearing which he is going to check out as that wheel was hit pretty bad....

something strange i just noticed is that the rear end of the car is now higher than the front above the wheels..is this a problem and can anything be done about it? it dont seem right i can live with it if it runs ok .i was told i would need wheel alignment but have not done it yet..

well somethings not right...does anyone suggest pep boys suspension check up..its $19.95 ...or maybe get a frame check from a body shop with computers if i can get at a reasonable price...

any Ideas....Thanks much for any suggestions

The wheel bearing could easily be the problem. Good to check that out first.

I would have thought the rear frame is the same, so maybe something beyond that was also bent? I think the springs are the same, but what if they're not? Try your old springs?

Then get a suspension alignment.
