i hear a knocking noise when driving stright down the street. if you trun the wheel in any way, the noise almost go away. the steering also has a little shaking in it at the same time. the faster you go, the louder or faster the noise knocks, like it is part of the tire rotation.

Sounds like a failing CV joint. Another possibility could be wheel cover fit if the car has wheel covers instead of alloys.
