Default HELP tracking down vibes

I need help tracking down vibes in the front end. I get a hard side to side shake when I get to 50-55 mph, I havent gone any faster than that B/C it shaks so hard. I've cheacked all 4 ball joints, both hub bearings, and all the ends in the steering. all of them seem tight, no clunking. I looked at both u-joints, they look good and I pulled the front drive shaft to see if any changes. I've run outta ideas to check, any and all help would be great thank you.

Does it seem to be triggered by bumps in the road? Does it do it all the time?

Google "Death Wobble".
