i have a 94 audi 80 tdi

i had the front suspension strut replaced and since then i have had a annoying shake on my steering wheel as soon as i go over 60

will this be my tracking? see the car does not pull to any particular side

any help would be apresiated

also i am looking for the exhaust mount on the rear silencer(back box) it is not the first one at the bumper i already replaced that one,it is the one after that next to the rear suspension strut

Since front suspension struts were replaced. I'm guessing they replace both sides? if they didn't they should of.

Check everything with under the front end with a pry bar, make sure there is no excess amounts of play in any of the rubber bushes.

Track rod ends, can wear, that can cause vibrations. Get the wheels/tyres balanced. jack the car up and turn the tyres, listen for any noise, grab the top and bottom of the tyre, and rock it, feel for any movement.
Also one wheel rim that has slightly warped or gone out of shape can cause problems. Your local tyre shop can check this for you. It can be lots of things, it just needs some investigationing. Very Happy

get your wheels balanced again

Warpped discs? lightly press the brake pedal and see if you can feel it vibrate.

60mph - sounds like wheel balance...

As others have said get your wheels balanced. Also make sure that there is equal pressure in both front tyres.
