Do all the basic maintenance and see how it does: air filter, fuel filter, distributor cap, clean the throttle body, change the pcv valve, check the vacuum hoses for too much cracking, etc.

this is either a tire rotation issue, ujoint issue or you have a loose front end. I would start with the tires and have them rebalanced. if the vib comes back then look into your Ujoints they may only need greased or replaced. front end would be last on my list.

Check tires for flatness as well. Just had a swollen area (bubble) on my Aerostar and had a bad wobble and shake at speed.
