bad vibration at 60????

ok this is for my daily adriver which is a 93 biuck skylark custom(3.3L, cold air intake, 8mm racing wires, split fire spark plugs, and ported intake manifold) anyway the car vibrates really bad around 60, and in corners, i had a aliment done, so it cant be that, i was thinking a bad tie rod end???
not really sure, yes i know its not a seven, but i figured some one can help me.

to test the tie rod end, jack up the car and try shaking the tire/wheel. If it's bad, then there will be some movement.
I have a bad one right now. The wheel moves a little and I get a LITTLE clank noise when I do it.

My explorer does that vibe thing between 60 and 65mph. It has a loose U-joint in the front axle.
