When going over 20km car makes really loud sound and shakes only does this in D 3 and Low not in Reverse. But shifts fine. I have switched tiers thinking that could be it but no. I have added transmission fluid as well as power steering fluid noise is still there. I am lost as to what could be causing the noise.

Can you describe the noise? Does it seem that the transmission is slipping or anything like that?

No it does not sound like the tranny is slipping the sound is like a grinding sound I would say it viberates the floor of the car I can feel it on my feet. What's odd when it just idling the car sounds great the engine sounds strong and etc.

I would start by checking CV joints, axles, make sure wheels are tight. If it sounds normal when stopped, it has to be something that moves when you pull out or accelerate.

You can buy an aftermarket hub bearing for under 75.00. So, lets figure 150.00 in parts and 200 in labor. I don't know where you live, but here (in PA) that would be about right. Maybe just a little high, but nothing that is too far out of line.

Let me know if you have other questions.
