Default xj front end question...?

so i just did the brake pads on the jeep over the wkend. very simple cut and dry in and out. they work great! now though when i hit a bump in the road the whole front end of the jeep shakes pretty violently. this only happens when im doing between 50-60mph. talk to me gents

shocks/struts?
bearings?
u-joints?

i dont think its the brakes. the rotors were in fine shape, and the brakes work wonderful. thanks in advance men! !

You didn't mention if your Jeep is lifted or anything else done to it!

if all you did was your break pads
1. Take off each wheel
2. check brake pads (make sure everything is put together right)
3. check make sure there is nothing on the back of your wheel that is keeping your tire from seating correctly
4. Tighten everything back see if it worked

if not i would get the tire balanced and an alignment.

just do a check of all suspension parts up front, easiest way to rule that part out. did you use the brake pads for the right year? did you turn your discs so they were smooth for the new pads?
