Can ball joints cause a shake at highway speeds

For my Saturn Vue. It has 113k on the clock and many of those those miles on bumpy inner-city roads. The car has been shaking quite badly at around 70 and getting worse at higher speeds. I don't usually drive fast enough for it to be too annoying, but can that be caused by ball joints? I am terrified of one failing on me on my way to school and having to get stuck on the Cross Bronx. How can I check it out? Thanks.

Oh, the reason I think it may be the ball joints is that earlier this year, I had an alignnment and new ball joints on my Camaro, and the car stopped shaking on the highway. I doubt it was from the alignment, so I figure maybe it was the ball joints? I don't know.
