Hi:
I had a smiliar problem in the past.

The problem was surprisingly 'Brake.'

In my recollection, it was one of front brakes got really bad.

However, I can NOT be sure, ... just in my experience as to
'shaking' steeling-wheel caused by one of 'bad' front brakes,
particularly High-Way Drive, 75 - 80 miles.

Might be worth the time to also try rotating the tires front to back in case one of the fronts has a problem. Could also have a front strut that is weak. Lots of possibilities on a 14 year old car, even a Camry.
