My 2001 Chevy Impala shakes when I accelerate at high speeds. It makes a loud groaning like noise as I begin to accelerate (at low speeds), as well as when I am slowing down. The Noise seems to be coming from the front driver side of the car. I noticed that when I drive slow, with the driver's window down, I can hear a clicking like sound coming from the front left tire.The noises happen when turning and driving straight. However, the breaks are almost new. The trembling is unbearable at high speeds. Most of my friends say it could be an axle problem. But none of them are mechanics. I would like to have an idea of what I'm looking to fix before I go to a mechanic.
Thank you in advance.

have seen Hubs do this as well, and generally the Hub is more apt to make a noise that is rotational at low speeds and get worse the faster you go. As far as vibration the worse it gets the more play you have in wheel, Jack the front end up left and right, grasp the wheel at the top and bottom and see what play you have rocking the wheel in and out at the top and bottom. It should not move if it does and YOU WILL FEEL IT if it does, that is the bad hub. But it can also be a bad CV axle as well, so eliminate the Hubs first, by the test i Just mentioned.
