A/c highway speed issues

So my a/c works great first of all. Cold and all that, however.

I usually don’t drive my truck on the highway. Today I did and had the a/c blasting feeling good, I get up around 60-65 and the front end/ engine is wobbling like crazy turn off the a/c and it stops.

it’s not the normal ranger shake at those speeds I remedied that a little bit ago with a new front end kit and new tries.

im wondering if anyone has had a similar issue and what was your fix so I can start poking around.

Welcome to the forum

Wobble is an odd term to use, that would always point to tires, steering or wheel bearing issues

Vibration at higher engine RPM could point to fan belt driven pulley issues, so turning AC off could reduce that vibration
I would check the Fan Clutch, see if you can wiggle the fan, engine off of course, lol
Out of balance fan will cause an extreme vibration at speed
