Default Car shaking bad 30+ mph

My 1994 sc400 doesnt shake at idle only when im driving 30+ mph. Its real bad and feels like a jerking motion. The car runs real good but trying to find out what it could be. Any help would be appreciated.

Worn LCAs, bad tires or alignment, or other less common wear-and-tear driveline or suspension components... Lots of possible culprits without more info such as, where it feels like it's coming from, whether it's accompanied by noises, status of maintenance, etc.

Need more info. Just not enough to go on to give anything other than guesses based on normal issues.

^ What this gentlemen said. If you can let us know the circumstances in which it happens... Is it during acceleration, braking, while maintaining speed? Or is it only while turning, etc. Any info you can give will help us better help you.

if the throttle body sensor thing is bad throttle position sensor (I forgot what its called)
if thats not right- at 40 mph low rpms 1500 rpm the car jerks, it feels like the gas is off then on.
if it only does it at 40 mph in 4th gear its the sensor ether out of adjustment or bad.
