It could be your wheel alignment or maybe your tires are worn out already. Check those stuff.

Have you taken care of all the free fixes i.e. recalls?

90% of high speed rotation comes from tire balancing. Even if you're feeling it in the front end it could be from the rear tires being improperly balanced (I had this problem with my '01, right around 70-80 mph) Hope that helps.

My 95G used to shake and no matter what I got fixed on the front end it still shaked. I thought it would never shop untill I got my 18" rims, with my rims on no more shaking.
