Answer:

Vibrating front ends and noise can be caused by many things. First, jack up the car and spin the tires to see if they are out of round of if a rim is bent and fix that if you see a problem. If not, then go to a good front end shop and have the front tires checked for balance and the front end checked for alignment. ALSO, check the front wheel bearings, as they make a nasty humming sound as they begin to wear. You can’t often feel any play in wheel bearings when they first wear, but a good mechanic on a road test can use his ears and tell you if a bearing is starting to wear out BEFORE the wheel actually has play in it when you jack it up and check it manually.
