rumbling explorer

hi guys,
i own a 1996 4.0 explorer, and having some problems.
when i drive around 60 km/h my car is getting a bit shaky, and above 100 km/h till 120 km/h the engine is rumbling when it needs to give some power(normal cruise). when i let my gaspedal loose, no problems. went to the garage, and rebalanced and realigned the wheels, no effect. is this a common problem with the 4.0 sohc engine?
thanks in advance.
