Default possible suspension trouble... need answers pls.

i drive a 2000 honda accord v6 coupe...
recently my brother got into an accident by himself by going up the curb and hitting a couple sign posts. the car was declared undriveable from the spit front axle, front wheels snapping in half, spilt front bumper cracked headlights and so forth.

so i had everything repaired:
-the whole front suspension(axle, campler, springs, shocks, etc)
-the front bumper
-the headlights
-and replaced only the rear axle

but what the problem is that from the back of my car i hear ticking/clicking sounds from the rear suspension. it makes a noise when i go over speed bumps, when the car chassis moves left to right (light when you litterally push the car to shake from left to right), when im in a bumpy road, or when i make hard turns
i took it back to the body shop, but they had no idea what the problem was.

I've had to (on occasions) literally lay on my back and handle different components to get an idea as to what's going on.
If your body shop has a frame machine (a drive up platform), it's a simple matter to start moving the chassis while someone's underneath grabbing different suspension components until they feel the vibration or click.
