I'm going look for a shop that can do premium balance ..may try the local Ford House in the near future to see what they may or may not know with this platform

Check your tie rod ends. might need replacing. If the boots are dry and flimsy or damaged, you need new tie rod ends. My Mach shimmied at the same speed. I replaced both tie rod ends, and problem solved. The tie rod ends were 25 dollars each at autozone.
