That's a major issue. Get that fixed. I've experienced death wobble in my WJ and I know firsthand that it's unsafe. Mine was a bit different than yours though.

Anyways, go through your entire front end and check for play or worn parts. Bad steering box, bent wheels, etc. Are your wheels balanced and rotated? When was the last alignment? Could be any of those or a combination.
