Default Front end vibrations

I'm lost. My 01 Cherokee sport was in last year for an alignment. I ended up walking out of there with four new shocks and a terrible front end wobble from around 53-55 and then it happens again around 65-70. I was told it was my rims...so I replaced them with Cragars. When i took them back to the shop I was told it wasn't that, it's my spindles. It feels like I'm going to die everytime I hit the smallest bump and I get to the brink of losing control of the vehicle. Honestly, I'm just confused. I know that I have to replace my rear springs but I don't know about the front. And I'm just out of my league and can't afford to pay some idiot to make up excuses.

Search for death wobble on here, sounds like you've got a case of it. Basically something in your front suspension is out of spec, could be something simple you can do yourself. There are lists out there of things to check to help combat death wobble.
