If you driving and rolling in neutral and the shaking stops and If the shaking returns when in gear, then sounds to me like an axle(s) going out..

Make sure motor mounts are also in good shape. After a while a mis-aligned transmission will eat up an axle.

The boot will be torn.

Axles typically go bad because a boot is torn and dirt gets into the gears.

You can also check to see if your steering rack (tie rods) and bearings are still good ? Put it in the air and grab the wheel, 12 / 6 o'clock to test for bearing and 9 / 3 o'clock for tie rods.
