This is deathwobble.... unless your Jeep is doing this, then it's just some shakes. Check the steering components, as stated before.

try checking your tire balance as well as your motor mounts. and of course that wonderful diagram. also your drive shaft could be out of balance and in worse cases your harmonic balancer or your crank. after pulling the motor in my other jeep it was no wonder it was about to hop off the road between 50 and 55 as all of this was out of wack.

mine was just recently cured by replacing all the tie rods, also found after that i had bad ball joints so those got replaced too.... could be a number of things as every stated. i found ALOT of play at the pitman arm. i did all 4 tie rods, steering damper, 4 ball joints for about $300 in parts... labor was done by me. I still have yet to do my sway bar links, track bar, and control arm bushings..
