When the car hits 30 mph it starts making a humming noise in the front end. There is also uneven wear on the front tires. Particularly on the edges of the tires. The passenger side tire is worse. Also, when the brakes are applied there is some vibration in the tires.

Hi there,

You have an alignment problem that may entail worn steering or suspension components, the vibration under brakes is usually warping of the brake rotors, have this inspected.
