Rattling noise form driver's side tire and cannot drive over sixty mph on highway

The alignment shop is a great idea!

If you can find one of those "slower' shops, like on the edge of town (not in the bustling city), many times they will come out and look things over, explain any problems, give you an idea of cost, before you 'jump right in!'

I have a shop nearby that is owned and "hands on' operated, that performs work on anything from an 18 wheeler on down. He's been in business for twenty years or more. I have seen him diagnose stuff as it drove into his parking lot! Experience goes a long way towards a 'Correct Fix'.

These quickie brake or tire places have a different new young feller doing the repairs and alignments every few months. Through my dumber years, I learned to avoid those places!

Maybe it will be as simple as a deteriorated bushing!

Let us know what they find.

The Medic

A car out of alignment will pull to one side, have an off-center steering wheel, or will have bad tire wear patterns. Misalignment does not cause vibrations.

What you described is typical of a simple wheel out of balance. It can also be caused by a broken tire belt or a bent wheel, but those will usually also cause a steering wheel shimmy at lower speeds.

If the rattling stops when you lightly apply the brakes, a front brake pad is loose. That is not a safety concern but it can be annoying. That can show up easier if the brake rotor is warped, but if that is bad enough, you will usually feel the brake pedal move up and down a little while you're holding steady pressure on it.
