My 1986 Audi 90 does this too, 85-90mph the car begins to do some rather strange things. You can feel a vibration coming up through the steering and the rear headrests start rattling around. I've had the geometry of the front checked out and I'm told that it's one degree out of toe. Unfortunately, the garage that told me this didn't have the tools to put it right - so it's going into an Audi dealer for sorting. Will let you know if this fixes the problem
