could you tell where it was coming from? i would say check your wheels? did the steering wheel shake??
sounds like balancing or a rim that's bent...i had an oem wheel in the front that was bent at the lip on the inside and when i would get up to 75 it would shake the steering wheel and car....rim needed to be fixed or trashed...

Check wheel bearings. One of mine were cracked and I could barley tell except m car did not dirve as good as it should at fast speeds. I did not find out until I treplaced my rotors.

Here's a quick, easy way to check your wheel bearings.
Jack up wheel, suspension loaded is fine if u can fit a hand in there to do next step
With one hand, touch/hold a part of the suspension, To me the Spring yields best results.
With other hand (dominant) spin the tire. If the wheel bearing is bad you'll feel it in the spring.
Do this on both front wheels first. (easier than rear, and more common to go out IMPO)
If its Sudden onset problem I'd lean towards wheel balance (threw a weight.)
