I have a shake also 70+mph. 92 hatchback
It has had shakes on 2 diff suspensions, balljoints are months old and bolts are all good. So possibly/probably not shock related (although bump could be).
Any ideas to troubleshoot are appreciated.

Sounds like a possible inner cv joint problem to me. That is the most common side effect

I had a vibration problem that sidelined my kah for almost 2 years. I replaced:
left driveshaft
right driveshaft
tranny
brakes
knuckles
A arms
driveshafts again
It seems that I've actually finally fixed the problem. I originally replaced the driveshafts with remanned ones done by a local company called Fenco. I have major problems with them. I replaced a mushroomed OEM shaft with one of theirs and it broke at the track after 2 weeks. I got it replaced under warranty, then it broke again within 2 weeks, but this time on the street. I had it replaced with a frankenstein shaft, which eventually wore down to cause my vibration. I replaced both shafts with replacement Fenco shafts and the vibration persisted.
Basically, that company has caused me so much grief. In a nutshell, grab a couple shafts from a wrecker if you're just diagnosing. A non-VTEC shaft is fine as long as the ABS encoder ring is on. I got mine for $65 canadian each. If that's the problem you might want to grab a fancy shaft from one of the manufacturers someone else will recommend.
