I rotate tire few days ago and after that my steering shakes over 65 mph.

Your problem is not alignment like you are seeing. When they rotated your tires you'll see they had rebalanced your tires also. Your tires have been balanced wrong and you should take your vehicle back to the place to be "rebalanced". How do I know this? 20 years as a service advisor.Shaking is due to bounce coming of the wheel. One way to make sure your balance is out is in driving it. You may feel the vibration come in at 65mph and fade away after you get 10-15 miles faster than that. If it comes in and fades out you definately have a balance issue. Alignment would NOT cause "shake" but rather it would "pull" left or right. You did have the rotation done at a shop,right?

This means your tires are out of balance or you have a bent wheel or slipped belt in the tire. The most common and likely is the tires being out of balance. So go get them balanced now and the vibration should stop. Also if a wheel is bent or a tire is bad the balancer will show that when they are balancing the tires.
The good news is your alignment being out WILL NOT MAKE THE STEERING VIBRATE PERIOD. I have never once in my 11 years in this business solved a steering wheel vibration by aligning a vehicle. So don't go get an alignment, please. At least not for this vibration.

Alot of things could cause this. An out of balance set of tires, U-joints could be going out, if its a FWD the cv axle might be bent. A front end alignment wouldn't hurt either!

Need a front-end alignment.
Check balance on tires (again)

could be a damaged rim. visually check the out and inside of the rims and tires (front and rear)
probably out of balance
also could be due to an alignment issue
have the tires balanced, it will cost a little but better than trying the more expensive remedy first

You may need to have them rebalanced. There is also a period of wear-in that the tire must go through because you have moved it especially on steering tires.

The tires may have lost one of the balancing metals that they use
to balance the tires. Go back to the same place and have it checked and after that they may need alignment.

Most likely one of your tires is out of balance. Less like is that you need an alignment.

You may have a loose wheel, check all the wheel nuts before you drive any more. If all the wheel nuts are tight, you may have a wheel that is out of balance.

That definitely a bent rim. More noticeable on the front and on any location it will war much faster.
