If the steering wheel shimmy's at 55 -ish, then the front tires need balancing. Otherwise front end shake could mean something loose or worn in the front like a bad tie rod, ball joint, wheel bearing, strut/shock or cv shaft. You can jack the front end and check for play by grabbing the wheels with tires on shimmying the wheel left and right(tie rod). Up and down(ball joint) or excessive play could be the wheel bearing. Any excessive play indicates loose components.

Steering wheel shaking at high speeds?

Could be a minor out of balance condition with one of the tires, or a minor alignment issue that is unnoticeable at lower speeds. Also the tires may not be rated for the speeds you are attempting and are distorting. Another possibility is a harmonic imbalance, the tread of the tires may create a noise that causes a wobble in the steering, the sound is always there but raises to a harmful pitch at a certain speed.


What are the different reasons why the steering wheel of a 2006 Jeep Wrangler would shake and this shaking would get progressively worse at higher speeds?

if your car shakes while driving and gets worse at higher speeds usually means the tires need to be balanced and if tire damage (cupping) has already started your gonna have to replace the bad tires


Will tire fall off if it's not balanced?

It's possible, but unlikely. However it will shake violently at certain speeds and may damage steering gear and tie rods.
