Default Front end shaking

Heya all, so help me figure this out, my jeep's entire front end likes to shake left and right between the speeds of 49ish to 53ish, thoughts ive had are either my wheels arent balanced right or its something weird going on with my trac bar? I say that because of the way it likes to shake back and forth pretty good. Any ideas?

Your on the right track. Start with the basic stuff like wheel balance, wheel joints, arms, bushings, tre's. You can inspect a lot of this stuff yourself- jack up one of the front tires up a bit and, while holding the u joint, spin the wheel back and forth just enough to see if there is any play in the joint.
