Well with the new information, I would say it is either the tires, or the bushings.

You can not tell if bushings and tie rod ends are going out just by look/or push pull. The fact that it is older than ten years, I would say that this is the first place to look.

If the tires or rims are bad, then it will not come and go. It will be constant, maybe worse at times, but always there.

Bushings will go slowly, maybe make a rattle noise on cobble stone road at around 10 MPH.
For around 60$ and some time, you can replace the bushings only. Even if this is not the problem, it will be worth the repair.
There is not a lot of choices. Tire/rims, bushings/rotors/bearings. (very rarly it could be the steering rack)

Also a important finding.....Does the shake increase in frequency with speed? Ie: shake faster the faster you go? If it does this, then it is rotational. In this case, if balancing does not work or last, then take the rims to a repair shop to check and repair roundness.

Any spacers?
