A good shop (or an experienced home mechanic) should be able to easily find the problem. It is really hard for anyone to guess without inspecting it.

Thanks allmostStock for the info. Today took it to the Alignment Shop here in San Diego. When in, told the story. Got into the jeep took it out on the high way and BANG it shook so bad around 55mph that the guy thought we were going over. Brought it back, he took his boss out, Bang same thing. Put it on the rack, check a few things out. Came up with solution. Replaced inner tie rod end $39. Checked 2 front tires on balancing machine, tires shot. Replaced to fronts with new 30x9.50/15s.
Mounted , balanced front, aligned front end the old way. Took it out, came back switch tire sides to make sure they were true. Done. Cost
$333.41 parts an labor. Major parts Tires. All I can say is you don't mind spending the $$$$ for some one who does what they say they can do. True service today is getting harder to find with out getting ripped. I do appreciat all the feed back guys. Inow feel a lot safer with this drive to Kentucky. Stay tuned for the next adventure with the Jeepster.
