I have a 1994 Mazda 626 with 2.0 engine with 204k. When on the highway at 55 up through 70 the front of the car shakes when under light load (when going up a slight grade). Strange, but it does not seem as bad at 75. Light load, light shake, heavier load, heavier shake - the more you press on the gas the worse the shake. On the level it is OK. I changed plugs and wires, checked cap and rotor - looked fine. Checked resistance on the primary and secondary windings of the coil - OK per shop manual specs. Should I change the coil even though it checked OK? Should I replace the cap and rotor even though they look fine?
I have checked for fault codes and there are none. This problem is not noticeable on back roads and in town driving, only highway driving.

Wheel balance all good, have the front end inspected, could be axles or wheel bearings as long as the engine runs good
