R50/53 Noise when turning the steering wheel at low speed

Noise when turning the steering wheel at low speed
It sounds like something's clicking like immediately when I turn the wheel barely at all and throughout the the turning process when at low speeds. I can barely feel it in the steering column.
Also my car vibrates/shakes at 50 mph no matter what gear i'm in and only at 50. Engine mount??

When you say turn the wheel, do you mean the wheel itself, or steering wheel?
My experience - I had clicking (in the actual wheels) at low speeds, got progressively worse till wind noise took over. Thought it was tires, but turns out to be wheel bearing. They are easy to change if you like the DIY stuff. $170 Ebay 150618220018

For the clicking, my old Accord did that and it turned out to be a busted CV joint (it only clicked when I turned at lower speeds). I'm not really familiar with my Mini yet so I don't know if there's anything else that its more likely to be.
As for the shaking at 50mph, that's probably an alignment issue or your tires are out of balance or something in that direction. Again, in my old Accord, I couldn't drive in the 60-70mph range because my car would shake violently, but it was fixed by getting things aligned and balanced.
