Another problem for my car...

So I got my car back from the collision repair shop and things worked great. Steering wheel is crooked and yes it is in alignment. I had them show me the paper. So the guy said bring it in Monday because the mechanic already left. No problem it's only two days with driving with the wheel a tad out of alignment. So I drive it for an hour before I kill it (haven't had the car in a month) then the whole car is dead. I'm like crap it won't start. I know it's the battery but I call anyway. The guys says the mechanic. Might not have connected the battery all the way. Sure enough he only had the cable resting on the negitve charge. I put it on and get home tightn it on. So then I go to mc donnalds. It was a poor parking lot I so Im in first and slow down to the point that the car is just rolling. Then I start hearing something I thought dragging. I get out and look and everythings good. So I'm like must not be me. Keep driving. I keep hearing it. Ok I'll take it in Monday right? Well we leave the parkinglot and are on good solid street. It's still doing it. I now retire the car for the night. And the noise hasn't happened since. then i go home the next morning and on the way I notice that every time I turn right even slightly it makes a very fast slapping noise. It then got to the point that it was making the noise when going straight. And turning left was the only thing that would fix it. Keep going then only way to get the noise to stop is to brake. It always stopped when I pushed the brake in even a little. I thought maybe the calipers are hitting the rim. But the slapping was to slow to be for that to be it. I called the nissan dealership and the guy was like pullover and make sure your lug nuts are on tight enough. And they were. So I continue going home im about 5 minuets from home I'm sure the car is going to shoot off in 4 differnt directions it's shaking that bad and I'm going 40 mph. I got home changed the oil and check the front tires (narrowed it down to the front not sure if its right or left but i think its right) to see what is toucing the tire And nothing is. So I'm out of ideas. It will be getting addressed Monday of course but I'm just wondering what it could be. Oh and ssorry if there are any grammatic errors I did this on my iPhone at work haha

that was a long paragraph with no breathing room.LOL

calipers huh? was the steering wheel shaking or hearing a hummingvibration sound? feeling like something is off when u were driving?

even at low speeds did it sound like a unbalanced tire?

im having a similar problem. i checked n checked the front, its down to brakes or wheel bearing.i took the pads off yesterday and the caliper is kinda loose...is that normal?

Yeah the steering was weird. like it was "slapping" noise and the wheel was defiantly shaking at the end before I got it fixed. and It only slapped at high speeds, then it started at low speeds as well. as for the unbalanced tire... kind of,
as for the calipers being loose I really doubt thats normal. Mine were knocked loose after my wreck. oh and I had to get my car towed to the repair shop because my brakes decided to completely go out on me lol
