car vibrates at 70 mph · whole body shakes at speed
The entire car (not just the steering wheel) shakes or vibrates once you reach a certain highway speed.
A tire balance and rotation is the cheapest first check and resolves this a large share of the time.
Drive cautiously and get it inspected soon - vibration at speed can indicate a component under stress that could fail.
Describe your situation more precisely (e.g. exactly when it gets worse, how long it lasts) and get an expanded, personalized breakdown.
