EK Hatch extremely loud and steering wheel vibrates at higher speeds
it sounds like its coming from the front driver side. The axle has been replaced recently but the sound was there before. Rotors and pads have been replaced so its not a warped rotor.
I have a CEL for my CKF Sensor but i wouldnt think thats anything. Its a swapped motor. Again sound was there before.
The only thing I can think of now is Rims/Tires. My Front Diver Side tire was pretty worn so I rotated my tires. It vibrates and sounds the same. I CLEARLY need new tires and rims but i dont have faith that this would fix the issue.
What else could it be?

Re: (yoffer)
my car steering shakes at high speeds when i first bought my car, check your wheels if their aligned right, i had to kick out the wheel real hard because the rust on the rims and the studs, i replaced the rims with HX and everything was good now.

True, this was my first impression, but he said that there was a noise also coming from it. And now thinking after he said that it was a swapped motor im thinking now that he might have the wrong axle
OP: What motor did you swap into your car? What car do you have?

Could be two separate problems: Bad wheel bearings and unbalanced wheels.
