If the struts are that bad, it can cause severe handling problems, including shaking at speed! If you can compress the strut manually, it is past the point of being bad! Replace the struts and have the front end alignment redone!
You may find that the strut failure has caused abnormal tire wear, and the tires may need to be rotated or replaced also!

Wow. I've never seen typing or spelling like that.
You could have a mis-aligned front end or unbalanced wheels. Bad struts don't generally cause vibration. If the shimmy is in the steering wheel balance the fronts, if its in the floor balance the rears. You need an alignment anyway after ball joint replacement.

Thats what keeps your car's tire pressing onto the roads surface-the shock/struts. BWhen they're shot, you'll get a crappy, bumpy ride.

Try putting on new brake disc's, if they are worn unevenly they can cause shaking, more noticeable at different speeds..
