I have a 2001 honda civic, 4AT, 2 drs DX. Whenever i drive the car one can feel (and hear) a noise like something knocking under the car and also one can feel a very faint vibration in the steering wheel while driving. Now i don't known if it has something to do with the fact that recent 3 of the 4 engine mounts were replaced and regarding the ignition switch sometimes, after turning the engine off the car key sticks in the switch and one has to turn the key on and move the shift lever from Park to Reverse and back for the key to come out

It could be mount related, it could be a CV joint, and it could be related to the heat shields on the exhaust system. Don't rule out the vibration to being tire related. Whether it is balance or cord related I don't know. You might try a rotation of the tires to see if that narrows down the possibility of a bad cord in a tire.
