What shocks would you get? I also think I have something wrong up frunt, because when I hit smal bumps the car tries to pull to the left.

Good tires will help a lot too. I had a weird vibration at freeway speeds, and after I changed to a new set of tires the vibration went away. I went from Falkens to Goodyear F-1 GS tires. It helped the ride and handling a lot.

balance tires, put pressure down to 32 or so, hurt fuel economy a little, but ride will improve

I would check your toe alignment and your tie rod ends if your getting bump steer.
