One or both front brake rotors warped.(overheated) take off and have both re-surfaced ("turned") or if beyond 'trueing-up' then replace them both. About 25.00 ea. (new)

What is the problem when you hit a bump at higher speeds you get a front tire shimmy for a few seconds?
Probably worn steering and/or suspension parts. Have the front end safety inspected.
Why are your RPMs high at high speeds?
Because your motor is spinning faster at higher speeds causing higher rpm's

Switch the front wheels to the rear and try it; if the vibration has changed at all you have a tire/wheel problem. It is not uncommon for a shop to miss this problem. Most vibrations like yours ARE tire/whhel problems. sounds like u-joints

Because at higher speeds you have more velocity than at lower speeds transferring more energy to make a bigger crashing causing more damage.
