Default front end wheel noise

Hi all new here. Have a 2000 stratus with a droning noise that seems to come from the left front wheel. Sounds like the tire rubbing on something but is not. Replaced the wheel bearing assembly today and no change in the noise. Car was hit in the drivers side front fender and wheel. Noise matches speed. rub....rub.....rub...rub..rub..rub.rub.rub and so on. Can anyone give me some insight on this problem

Get a friend to roll it very slowly while you are down near the tire to see if anything is rubbing. it's possible that the axle is bent or other suspension components are broken causing the tire to rub. Jacking it up and turning the wheel may not show anything as the wheel drops.
