Alignment would cause that. Also if you threw a wheel weight due to interference
with the caliper. Also a bent rim (you can balance a brick, but it's still a brick).
Rotate the tires front-rear and drive again. if it moves to the rear, it's tire/wheel
problems.
If it stays, then I'd look at suspension. Look for bent/loose items, and worn bushings
& tie rod ends.
but before you start anything, take a torque wrench and torque the lugs (nuts/bolts)
to 80-90 ftlbs. it could be a loose wheel too.

All the problems I've ever had with shuddering at higher speeds was tyre problems. Hows the tread looking on all the tyres? Uneven tread can cause problems.
