Default 1993 850 shaking and stiff

So my beloved 850 is shaking around 105 kmh and up. basically in the steering wheel, sometimes more than others. I replaced the bushings and struts last fall and got a wheel alignment done, where they told me the front end was really tight and in good shape. I have switched to a bit wider tire, 205/60/15 instead of the 195/60/15.
As well the steering especially at low speeds is pretty stiff, like its rack n pinion, kind of wondering if my power steering pump is gone or perhaps the fuse is blown, im checking that today.
after the alignment there is still a slight pull to the right.
was thinking the lower engine mount needs to be replaced as well.

Any thoughts for the shaking and stiffness?
the car is mint body and engine, so im hoping to figure this out.
cheers
