A bit more information please. Could you please describe this noise in more detail? Is it a metal on metal grinding noise or more of a humming, rumbling noise? is it a single 'Thump' as you brake or a steady noise that changes with speed? Does the vehicle pull to one side as you brake? Does it happen when you turn tight corners?
The steering shaking means there is a vibration somewhere between the road wheels and the steering wheel. A common cause for the noises and vibration is a warped brake disc. Even the smallest warp can cause a lot of trouble.
Try this. Pull the Park brake ON, put wedges under the back wheels and the gearbox in Neutral. SAFELY jack up the front left side. You only need to get it high enough so the wheel is a couple of centimetres off the ground. Using your hand carefully spin the wheel 4 or 5 full turns. You are feeling to see if it gets harder to spin at certain places as it turns. You are also listening to the noise the wheel makes as it turns. Listen for a quiet gritty sound. A good condition brake disc will give a steady, quiet, gritty noise all the way around as it spins. A warped disc will be an 'On then Off' sound. Use the comment button below with more information and I'll see if I can help you more.
C1226 Right Front Excessive Wheel Speed Variation
C1233 Left Front Wheel Speed Sensor Input Signal Missing
You could have a bad sensor on the left front wheel or bad wiring. Have it checked by a mechanic. Your anti-lock braking system is probably disabled under these conditions.
Being its front wheel drive, CV joint is probably bad (CV = Constant Velocity joint) It's a bearing that's covered w/rubber boot to keep grease in and dirt out. After time boots crack releasing grease allowing dirt road grime in. When bearing is dry or worn they make ALL kinds of noise especially when turning in that direction. Have a local competent shop look at it for you, they can be difficult to replace.
