It is possible that there is a dynamic imbalance on your tires. You may have had a tire in the rear which was dynamically imbalanced to begin with, but you only noticed it at higher speeds because it was in the rear. Now that it is up front, you feel it earlier. If you're in auto tech, I'm sure they taught you the symptoms, causes and remedy for this.
