Check your drive axles. If it shakes when you give it gas it's a good indication that you have a bad drive axle, and your front wheel balance could be off.

make sure none of your rims are bent,wheel bearings are tight,theres no type of frontend play (ie:loose tierods,ball joints) & that wheels are properly balanced & properly inflated (ie:calls for 35 psi cold run 32psi,calls for 44-50psi cold run 35-38psi,I work at tire shop I know how little can throw them off).

Yea your best bet is pretty much covers, tires, axles, and your alignment are pretty much everything lol, but most the time I run into a certain speed wobble its usually in the tires and wheels, maybe old tires that are dry rotted or its been a long time since your wheels have been balanced or heck even lack of rotating your tires twice a year will screw it up
