Loud metallic vibrating noise 1) when car is cold it the worst 2) when car is warm it happens during acceleration up to 15 mph. Noise is coming from the front of the engine. *** I have already put hose clamps around CAT heat shield. Also clamped a heat shield on a part located on the bottom/back of the engine.

This has not affected the cars performance.

Also, steering is extremely difficult when moving slowly (in and out of parking spaces etc). Put on new serpent belt last week and checked fluid.

Has anyone experienced same? Can the issues be related.

Thanks

 

Ant chance you can take a sound clip, might help - a noise over the internet is hard to figure out.

Can you use a piece of hose or long screw driver on parts of the car and the other end to your ear to try to narrow down where it might be coming from
