99% of the time it's improperly balanced tires. Especially if it's only in a specific speed range. Example: only shakes from 73-76mph. Any speed faster or slower there is no shake, it's most likely a balance issue.

ok so i stopped by the shop today when i got off work to see if they could look under the car, found out i need 4 new tires cuz the inside of them all are shot and i need lower ball joints plus a 4 wheel alignment. so i am goin to save up the money and do the ball joints myself and then take the car for an alignment

I had a similar shimmy/shake at highway speeds and took the car to the tire place nearby, to check on alignment / balancing / rotation. The tech immediately noticed that the front tires hadn't been rotated with the back ones, and he thought a simple rebalance and rotation would fix the problem. Sure enough, problem solved for ~$65. If the alignment were off, it would pull, whereas if it simply shakes / shimmies, then it's often balancing or rotation that is needed, per the guys at this place.
