I got the same thing exept for 60 mph. I put my 2.5 teraflex bob lift installed (did it myself) and the moment you hit 60 it was like a earthquake. Took it my friends shop yesterday ad they aligned it and it's still there but a world better then what it was, I'm scared to mess with any of it now bc they tuned it half ass or whatever but they told me to get a steering stabilizer but like Iv Hurd that just covers the problem up?

I've got the exact same issue. It's just an irritating shimmy, observable in the steering wheel. I'm running bfg m/t 255/75/r17 with 40k on them. They are the ones that came stock on my 2 door 2010 mountain edition. I just retorqued every bolt on the front end. Still there. Checked tire inflation. Still there. Rotate tires every 5k miles.
I have not had the wheels balanced or the alignment checked since purchasing it. I run a 2.5 coil lift. Have had the lift on quite a while and experienced no problems up until now. I'll check balance and alignment this weekend or next week.
I'll let you know how it turns out. Good luck on your problems.

Ok boys and girls.. I've been chasing this wobble for awhile now. Here is a list of things i've done to stop the wobble.
Northridge 9/16 bolt kit
New draglink, both ends and turnbuckle
Brand new tires, 35" BF goodrich allterrains
Balanced and rotated
Untorque everything and retorque at ride hight
Replaced front trackbar
Removed the circlips on the wheel studs
Now it's gotten much worse, Now i have the shimmys 40-55mph
I'm guessing it's the ball joints so im going to get an alignment this week and have them check the ball joints while they are there.
Any other things that could cause this? It's miserable to drive and i don't like when my jeep is like that:(

I just did my ball joints. I went with Synergy and so far I am very happy with them. Install in a PITA but with some patience it can be done just plan for the whole day. I swapped these in for my stock ones at around the 20,000 mile mark. I'm glad I did the swap when I did it was surprising to see how worn they were.
