do a search on death wobble. most common problems are alignment, worn front end parts, tires out of balance.

don't buy a oem replacment, go on ebay and buy the Rough Country heavy duty one I got one for $30 shipped. I was having real bad bump steer on my ZJ after lifting it and going bigger tires, the after market steering stab cured that. my OEM one was still good it just wasn't stiff enough.
