Default Shaking when over 50mph

Hi, I have a 1994 zj and since I hace it, its been shaking when I go over 50mph. It looks like it comes from the front of the jeep. The thing is, when im in 4x4, the shaking stops. It is only when im in 2x4. Any ideas?

If it is a violent shaking, you probably have death wobble. There are some classic causes, but instead of speculating have someone saw the steering wheel back and forth while you look at all the front end and steering joints. Whichever one is not solid, replace it

I heard about the death wobble, but since its not that violent, and only when in 2x4, I thought it was something else. still, ill take a look a the steering joints.

thank you
