Default front wheels shake on a turn

This just started a month ago, but when I take a turn a slow speed the steering wheel shakes back and forth. If I take the same degree of turn at a fast speed the wheels don't shake. I have a stock Rubi, and it seems like it started after I got my first death wobble a month ago. However it might not have been because of that. I have roughly 85,000km on her. Any suggestions?

I also have a leak I just noticed on the front right of my axel any ideas/ could it be part of it...

it looks like u have an axle seal leak. u also have alot of oil on that rim, and it could be throwing the balance off..

Definately need a axle seal.

Is it stuck in 4-hi? I'm not saying is the shifter, but if the linkage at the transfer case is faulty, you could be stuck in 4-hi?

nah it doesnt feel like that. like it would be grabbing a lot when i was turning really slow. it unless it could be "sort of" in 4 wheel.
