check the rotors?
Breaks were just redone ~3 months ago.

Thanks everyone for the advice so far!

High-speed shaking is due to improper front end alignment and/or tire balance. Tire pressure can also sometimes play into the factor as well. If you do nothing but have your tires rebalanced and rotated, there is a very good chance all your vibration will disappear. If not, check into your alignment but be sure to tell the shop you have high-speed shaking. I kind of shake a little myself at around 150. Sometimes it is a matter of one bad tire that is out of round and you can do nothing about it unless you isolate that tire and replace it. Good luck!

I went to another shop today and they re-did the rotation, balancing, and alignment. I drove my car on the highway and noticed it was ALOT better. Thank you everyone for all your help

Cupped tires - that's my bet.
