Default 1991 Accord Trying to figure something out

Ok heres the deal. About 2 years ago i was going down the road in my 1991 Accord Ex. The timimg belt broke and i had it towed home. It sat in my yard ever since. Last week I replace the timimg belt and got it running again. There seems to be a problem now. Theres alot of road noise, almost grinding-like in nature, it almost feels like your literally "on the road, it seems to get louder on decelleration. I drove it about a mile and there was a knocking sound it increased with my speed and then stopped. If i go over 30 mph this knocking comes back, the car was a nice smooth ride before the 2yr sit around it had. Any ideas as to what it may be?

when the timing belt snapped it may have messed some other stuff up, the belt keeps your engine on track so if it snapped while you were driving it could have kept spinning and smacked a lot of stuff around under the hood, but im not a tech i dont really know

that was the warning i got before i got my accord

I think it is only related to the time it sat, bad wheel bearing or CV joint, it would run rough if it bent a valve due to the broken timing belt. Jack it up and hand spin a wheel and see if you can hear or feel anything in the wheel area.
