The most common cause for front end shake at hiway speeds is the tires being out of balance. Have the tires balanced and the shaking should go away. If it doesn't then it could one of the following like bad tires, struts, or a worn front end. However at 40,000 miles I'am willing to bet it is just a matter of having the tires balanced. It should cost around 10 to 20 dollars per tire. :)
