start off by rotating your front tires to the rear. if the shake goes away then it is tire/wheel related. you should take your wheels to be balanced and examined for possible damage. I had a tire that the belts broke inside of it and caused the inside edge to randomly bulge out, causing a vibration.

if the front is still "shaky," start off by jacking the front the vehicle up, grasp your front wheel at the 9 and 3 o'clock positions and try push/pull it towards/away from you (you'll get what i'm saying when you do it). then grab at the 12 and 6 o'clock position and do the same thing. if you have excessive play, you should have your wheel bearings looked at, and possibly replaced as they may be worn out

I had this problem when I bought my 90 sedan. I will tell you everything I have replaced, it may help you. I am not saying replace these, this is just what helped me..

Passenger axle and bearing
Strut rod bushings
I found lots of loose bolts.. i'm hoping from age and not the guy who did the work on it..
the univeral joint on my steering column was loose..

My shake is way better but I still have a slight vibration.. I have narrowed it down to a bent rim though.

if the shake is at all speeds it could be bent rim/bad axle. if it shakes around 50-60 then its a wheel out of balance. allignment wont make it shake.
