Maybe it's just nervous! Does it do that in N or when your driving in gear? In N, bad cam or inconsistant compresion between cyl. or bad harmonic balancer. In D, wheel balance, bent rim, or bad drive shaft! Might even need a tune-up, they don't run too smooth on 7 cyl.

Good motor and tranny mounts? If they are shot, that will shake the car.

If it's only when you step on the gas, bad spark plug or wire or cap.
