How fast are you going? Have you already gained speed, or is it more like an engine miss/vibration? Thoughts are possibly engine mounts, trans mount even...

BTW, its never a good idea for the aluminum, A arms to be used as anchor points. They can bend!

On a c4 it can be many things.

Wheel weights, alignment, bent parts, torque converter, hubs, ball joints, suspension worn,.

you'll have to develop a better feel for the car and if it is under load or at all times.

Shaking.

Front end like the steering wheel?
Or front end like a harmonic balancer that changes with engine speed?
