Excessive steering wheel and car shaking which feels worse by the loud winding noise coming from the engine bay.


Thanks ahead of time

Can you get a recording of this noise so that we can be sure to be on the same page?

More than likely that noise, if related to the shaking, is a bearing noise. However, we need to hear the noise to be sure. Does the noise get faster with vehicle speed or engine RPM?

Here is a guide that will help with this issue:

The most common issue would be wheel and tire balance but I suspect there is something greater going on with this so here is some more information on wheel bearing issues which is what I suspect the whining noise is:
