Engine mount? - Educated guess.
Ball joints? - Mine does this as the ball joints are worn.

Well on mine, if you go straight over 40+ mph it shakes. If you start to turn slightly it disappears.

My car just failed MOT because both of the ball joints have excessive play which is a common problem.

Hope this helps.
