sounds like you've got death wobble to me i personally haven't dealt with it in my jeep yet but it has been an ongoing battle with my ford truck id start by going through the front and seeing either if something is loose or what bushings have crapped out

Don't forget your hub bearings. they are often overlooked.

Track bar bushings should be checked.
