if I go over 65mph at a steady speed.the car vibrates and pulls to the right steadilly off and on, If I speed up the rotation speeds up accordinglly, could this be a main bearing?

First of all thank you so much for your donation.As far your vibration i would check your tire's for tread seperation bent rim or tire's out of balance.What do you mean by If I speed up the rotation speeds up accordingly, could this be a main bearing?Do you mean the faster you go the worse the vibration?

HI
Think a worn suspension is at fault. As ball joint,tire rods, take into like a Goodyear tire store have it checked out. Let me know what they say and will advise.
Thanks for donate

the faster I go the faster the vibration goes.
I just got all four new tires less than 5000 miles ago.
I hear a whinning sound for the engine compartment at all speeds and of course louder as I go faster.

The whining noise you hear while driving you can't hear while in park revving the engine?Also while your driving that whining noise you hear does the noise get louder or change when you turn or change lane's?If you put the car in neutral while you hear the whining noise and your moving does the noise go away?
