i have a similar problem, and cannot figure it out... it does feel like the vehicle is wagging in the 5 to 10 range...
it feels like a wheel out of balance, however wheels have been balanced, new tires, u joints, steering damper....
the vibration/wobble is there at all speeds, but is the worst at 55 mph...
thanks,

I will check this, but I just put a brand new hub on my passenger side front. Before and after it has a bad wobble/vibration only 55-65mph. The vibration only comes from the passenger front. I had the wheels and tires balanced thinking that would take care of it but to no avail. I need to check the ball joints as they might be bad as well. The steering appears to be tight but with 180,xxx your guess is as good as mine.

i cleaned the inside of the wheel, inside and outside the rotor, and the hub surface... it didnt change anything... it's very frustrating... i've been trying to figure this out since april...

Shaking over 60mph
Just tryin to get a few opinons. Got a 97 XJ 4X$, I've been running retreads for quite some time, the other day I swapped em out for sum all-season 225-70's to help out with all the highway driving.
Now at 60mph I get a pretty bad vibration, I can feel it throught he steering wheel, you can watch the passenger seat move left to right bad. All the wheels/tires balanced out good so I know it's not that. Just wonderin if anyone else has ran into something similar, maybe wheels bearing/hub, stabilizer, bushings or tie rods? I'm gonna get it jacked up tomorrow and check to see if anythings loose. Any suggestions?
