I know it's older tech, but the MK suffered vicious wobbles at around 80kph.
New wheel bearings and dumping the old 750x16's helped reduce the frequency. Still get them on occasion, but not as nasty. Oddly, still get a little shimmy at 80kph though. The car is in the process of being rebuilt [after 30 years, she is overdue for it]......lol, so all the steering components will get looked at.
