Bent shocker , lower arm , tie bar the list can go on.

You need to get it on a ramp and inspect it properly

Did you catch one of the brake discs back plates whilst changing the subframe ?

If so it could be pushed against the disc and scrapping hence the noise.

Gotta say though from experiance if you have hit something hard enough to bend a subframe i doubt thats al thats bent.
