Car gets a vibration starting at about 10 MPH that can be felt in floor board along with growling sound.upon speedind up vibration growl gets higher pitched and louder in car.steering wheel and column don't shake or vibrate at all. And car only vibrates when moving. One other thing when going down road or highway if I'm in a left turn the vibration and sound go away till straighting out.did notice my motor moves when I put tork on car.steering though always is smooth with no shake at any speed.slight vibration when in park and I raise rpms

sounds like a really bad front wheel bearing.may be bad enough to wiggle. grab top of tire and pull if play is detected that's the 1.
