If its not related to road speed then it could be steering rack?

as Luke has said, it is related to engine speed, and not road speed. I'd be checking the gearbox mounts and engine mounts, as the engine may have shifted and be resting on the chassis or body.

Also check the chassis member on that side that it has not been pushed into the engine compartment and is sitting on the engine (you'll need a jig to sort this if it is)
