Usually wheel shake at speed is a wheel balance needed.Although it is good to have the vehicle checked for any worn suspension bushes/balljoints. I hope this helps or get back to me with your findings.
Check 5 things Balance, (including road force that checks the integrity of your rims).
Tires if they are cup, they vibrate the vehicle at high speed.
Wheel bearings for movement. Tied rod ends for looseness,
If you brake and rotors pulsate, those rotors will create vibration at high speed.
shaking when braking is caused by warped rotors. Have them resurfaced.
Bearing will cause noise that gets worse with speed and will let up when turing a certain direction.
HAVE THE UNIVERSAL JOINTES ON THE DRIVESHAFT CHECKED
