Noisey on turns, braking, and highway driving.

...at first i thought it might have been a transmission issue, but thats not the case. I notice that while driving at high speeds, the car seems a lil shaky, and when i go on the brakes..its very loud!..the shocks seem fine, no excessive bouncing or leaks. Also while driving i feel the road by my foot..in a nutshell i think i have some suspension issues, so Im starting off by first replacing the brakes with a set of Hawk HPS pads. Has this happen to anyone? I also need an alignment the car is hooking REALLY hard to the right. so im guessing that once i do brakes and alignment, i should be fine.

Could a smurf be stuck in your wheel well?
Seriously though make sure you didn't lose/throw a wheel weight.
The loud breaking though could indicate rotor issues, have you been auto
crossing alot recently?

If it's loud all of the time you're moving (and gets louder when you hit the brakes) it's possible that you have a wheel bearing going out. It will make it sound like you're driving a 4x4 with big mudding tires and when you let off the gas the load it places on the bearing could possibly make it even louder.
