In regards to the wheel shaking, could be that your trackings out or a bush has perished or something along those lines, can't help in regards to the engine.

Has the car thrown up any error codes?

hi - i take it there is no noise when vehicle is stopped ? if no noise then good as it will be some type of rotational wear - as before maybe wheel bearing as this will make a whine that will only get worse - with the vibration in thinking either outer of inner cv joint as these have a fairly large mass spinning - either way dont drive till seen to and dont panic neither are too expensive to sort out
