it:s called the death wobble and it is a common occurance in jeeps of all ages!!! You should check your shocks, your steering damper and your track bar specificaly the mount metal bushing!
nect thing to do is to check drive shaft u=joints for wear or lack of lubrication, then have drive shaft checked and rebalanced

∙ 13y agoI just went through this during the rebuild of my 92. After balancing my wheels and replacing a bad u-joint I still had a shimmy starting around 45 mph. Depending on road conditions it would get to the point of having to stop the vehicle to stop the shimmy. I started checking the front end and found the shimmy dampner bad and the track bar had a small amount of play at the joint end (closest to the steering box). After replacing both, the shimmy is gone, drives straight and smooth! You can pick up both parts from Advance Auto parts for approx $130. The shimmy damper will run you about $35 if you want to try that first.

∙ 14y agoThe same thing happened to me last year, chances are you blew a cylinder. You should get that fixed soon because it also makes it so you're basically throwing gas out the window.
