All of a sudden my jeep is getting real bad vibrations when I get over 50 mph then they kinda go away at like 70 mph I took my front drive shaft out they aren't as bad but no doubt its still there so please help shoot me some ideas at me joints and other things I could check oh and I have a sye in the rear witch I've had for like 6+ months Working fine again please help me
Is the steering wheel shaking violently or is the front of the Jeep vibrating. Like allout said could be as simple as a wheel weight or the tires starting to cup. I would check these first. If it is the start of death wobble there are tons of threads in here to help find the source of the shaking.
Good luck and please keep us posted!

Check all your steering components- something could be loose. I had a loose pitman arm that made it shake violently at 55. I tightened it to spec and all is good now. New tires or rebalance may also be the culprit. Take it to a tire shop and pretend you're interested in new tires and they will probably check things like wear and balance. You might also have A tire separation bubbling up.
