Unhappy Shaking in front end

Hello all, I am now the kinda proud owner of a 96 cherokee sport. at about 55 mph I get a bad shimy/vibration in the front end. I notice especially this while im going through a gentle curve. I already inspected the front end and noticed some play in the trackbar and replaced it. Are there any other compoments that might need attention? Maybe the steering damper? Any input would be grateful.

Thank you<

have you recently replaced your wheels/tires? you might want to get them balanced either way. if u find out what causes it, let us know as well.

Default Shaking in front end

Thanks for yall's reply, i did replace the trackbar today and it seemed to help, but the shimy is still there, just not as bad. it only does it at around 55mph. but when i go say 60-70 it goes away, dont think it is a tire issue, i may be wrong though
