Could be the tripod/drive-shaft clearance. The tripod has the function of a U-joint. This is at the inner end of the drive axles, where they attach to the transmission. If you can get under the car and grab the axles, try to determine if there is any "play" in the transverse direction (perpendicular to axle). I had an old 900 that shook at highway speeds. Turnned out that the rubber boot encasing the tripod/differential cup had suffered a cut, the grease leaked out, stuff heated up and expanded, and the tripod banged away at the differential cup's inner racee and dented them, making for lots of free-play that allowed the axle to vibrate the car.
If you need to replace the drive shaft (cups), its not to hard or too $$ if you do it yourself.
