Sort your tracking out - my mum's Fiesta was horrible above about 65mph but getting the wheels aligned sorted it out.

KMH I guess unless a track day. I would get it sorted though perhaps it may cause some extra wear on wheel bearing(s) and even efect braking. Wheel ballance is so cheap to get sorted anyhow, and would at least rule it out for starters and they could also check for a buckled wheel?

Most likely a balancing or tracking issue. Other areas if not could be worn suspension or steering items.
