Default PLEASE HELP shaking steering and engine virbation

I have a 2005 Mustang and since the day I bought it had a shake/shimmy in the steering wheel on the freeway cruising going straight and accelerating. I've gotten my tires balanced (stock wheels) Tie rods replaced (inner and outer) front wheel bearings, multiple alignments, brakes completely redone. It shakes really rough and it almost sounds like the engine is vibrating at speeds above 60. The whole car shakes but it's mostly the steering wheel. When I press the brakes (even lightly) on the freeway the entire steering wheel shakes even worse (Almost like death wobble) Any speed under 60 there is no engine vibration and no shake at all. It keeps getting worse and I don't know what to do. I don't think its the tires.

I suggest a Road Force balance for the steering wheel shimmy. Fixed me right up.

Shaking while braking sounds like warped rotors. Does it get worse when hot?

Anyone who did your alignment and didn't catch the problem is not very good.
