Shaking?

Shaking at a specific speed range is usually out of balance wheels. Worn out shocks or worn parts in the suspension will aggravate the problem with the wheels.
Note that the wheels used must be hubcentric and a close fit to the centering ring. If not hubcentric or if the fit is poor the wheels probably can't be balanced off the car.The car makes it possible, but the driver makes it happen.

i had the same symptoms and it was control arm bushings. They looked fine(and held up fine to a crowbar), but after replacing them and control arms, the issue went away.
Best of luck.
edit; also out of balance wheels or non hub centric wheels would not usually go away as you move faster.
