2003 Ford Focus ZX3 75,xxx miles. Manual Trans.
Hi, I went to Walmart to get an oil change and a tire rotation.
I pulled out of the parking lot and immediately heard a noise.
I've been paying attention to it for a week.
Its only audible at 50MPH or higher (but could still be there at lower speed I just cant hear it). The speed or rhyme of the noise does not change if I change gears or rev it up. The speed or rhyme does not change if i go faster, but i think the sound gets louder the faster I go. At 50MPH or more, I experience a vibration in the steering wheel, I believe it gets more aggressive as I go faster. I very rarely exceed 60 miles per hour.
my email is ( no emails please), if you need more information just ask.
Thank you.

NBD - can see you are new. I don't know how every shop does routine maintenance or with what equipment. If they hoisted it and hit an exhaust part that could explain that. The part might have been ready to quit anyway but an explanation would be in order for something like that,

Yes - I can only guess without seeing it. Weak exhaust parts is what I was thinking or rusted ones that didn't need one more second of any trauma,
