If they're new wheels, you've got to retighten the lugs after 50 miles or they will loosen up and your wheel(s) could fall off. No joke, it's happened several times here in town according to one tire shop.

My friend had a similar problem..the going to the left thing is simply an alignment problem...but the shaking thing in my friend's case turned out to be a f*cked up intermidiate shaft...and since you said it was on the left side where you could hear the noise coming from...that is the side the shaft is on, so check that out and see if it's that
