I actually work at a body shop as the mechanic, first i would have the alignment checked by a shop with a good machine. DO NOT be afraid to ask them about the machine, as far as age of the machine. Second it could possibly be a bad wheel bearing due to the accident if it hit the wheel. Have your wheel checked to see if its bent. If it has gotten louder since the accident i would have to say that the tire is possibly toed in. As for the rubbing noise, have a friend watch that wheel as you turn it lock to lock, cause your bumper could be bent just a enough not to be noticeable but it could still rub and you wouldn't be able to tell by looking at it. Mainly just have all your suspension parts looked over REALLY good, cause even though it don't look bent doesn't mean that it isn't bent.
