Scary vibration 700 1989

I know that this may be a repetative Q but I am looking for some peace of mind, so I would appreciate any advice. I replaced my tie rod ends last weekend and I am working on replacing balljoints and strut bushings, having problem getting bolts free. In any case, I get pretty serious steering wheel vibration when my brick goes around 60-70MPH, does not occur at any other speed or when turning. Along with the vibration is a serious rattleing noise from front left wheel area, so serious it seems like the wheel may fall off. Can this be related to a totally failed balljoint, basically the ball is rattleing around in the joint? I have checked all bolts, including lug nuts, for tighness. Also checked for warped rotors and wheel, they all seem okay. Checked the spanner nut that hold strut insert, it is tight as well. I am just looking to avoid a catastrphic event, I have to commute 60 miles a day with this old gal. I really appreciate anyones advice, and reassurance that my brick will not fall apart on me. Thanks.
