Check your wheel bearing. That will cause the car to shake andalso make a noise

fuel filter would be my first guess after that fuel pump

Have you checked the CVJ? Does it make the noise in a turn or just going straight? You did not say if you had checked the tire for roundness or a bulge which would indicate ply or tread separation.

You are better off replacing the defective radiator. Automotive part stores sell different products to seal up leaking head gaskets and radiators. There are two, Bars leak tight and Blue Devil. Both promise to stop the leak and they will do the trick but can clog head gasket cooling ports and the heater core. You will hear both success stories and nightmares. My opinion is to fix it right the first time or not at all. I hope that helps, good luck.

Could be a broken belt in the tire.

Take skirting down in trunk on the side you are working on. Remove center nut on shock 15MM. Then jack that side up or whole rear of car and place jack stand or jack under control arm. Now you can remove the two 10MM bolts that fasten the bottom of the shock to the control arm, most of the time the speed nuts brake but you can hold on to them with a pair of pliers. Once this is done remove the shock place all hardware on shock and install. The new shock will come with an 18MM center nut. Hope this helps.

Not really --- An alternator needs a battery to energise the field windings to generate power as they have no residual magnets . By removing the battery with the engine running you will damage the alternator /rectifiers or regulator. The car shuts down because there is no power to run the ignition.

Most likely alternator not charging.

you either got a bad hoes or your water pump shot
