Default Car shakes

Hey guys, I just got my car not long ago and took it on the high way for the first time yesturday and soon as I hit 130km/hr-ish, the car starts to shake(top up), but doesn't do it all the time. Steering and everything feels fine, just the body starts shaking.
Anyone experience this or any ideas? Thanks

likely alignment or improperly angled tri-canards.

anyone anywhere is going to charge about 80 - 100 bucks to balance tires even if your not mounting them.

also

so the shutter is at high speeds and not in the front.
being lowered

leads me to think the cv-cup's
but get it balanced and if that doesnt work i'd be looking into shaft spacers
