Default front end issues and coolant sensor

Looking for info on what to check for on a stock 1996 GC limited V-8 with the death wobble. Driving around 45-50 and all of a sudden it felt like the front end was going everywhee. Stopped checked things over and did not see anything. Came here and found its a common problem with lifted Jeeps but mine is stock. What do I need to check, and or replace? thanks
Also I am getting a "bad front coolant sensor" message on the info display. How many sensors does this vehicle have and where are they all at? thanks

For the sensor, check to see what, if any, fault codes are stored.

Here's how.>-->Jeep Computer codes (OBDI & OBD

i've battled DW many-a-time,it can often be several things causing DW but first check your track bar bushings if they are tight and there is no play and the mounting hole is not egged out, we'll go from there....
