I have an 02 SE and I was gettin road noise and for a while it stumped me...
it wasn't a metallic sound, just a roar, but after jacking the car up and reading on the forums I tracked it down to rear driver wheel bearing.
I ordered the assembly from DaveB ($107 thank you so much!) and installed it myself yesterday.
Oh my goodness... SO much quieter. SO much smoother...

anyways... do I need to have the car aligned?
I know for front bearings you're supposed to, but I wasn't sure when replacing the rear.

Car rides smooth and everything... i was just curious cuz I pamper her pretty well
But I don't wanna spend money I don't have to

No.
alignment doesn't change, especially because you have a non-adjustable beam axle in the back.

has to be the wheel bearing.. Mine was sounding like a 747 after like a month of not changing it.. it is always the opposite site from which you makes turn.. So turning right and sounds comes it will be the left one and vise versa.
