Steering wheel wobbles.
... Also, a badly worn system can shake even with good wheels, tires, and shafts. That's because rotating parts are never perfect. A slight tire shake that would never be noticed on a tight system will make loose/warn linkage parts or ball joints shake like a dog crapping peach pits. In this case, the remedy is to fix the worn parts - which could totally include bad ball joints.
In both cases, the rotating parts were still the source of the shake.
The bottom line is, both the rotating parts and the linear parts must be correct for a rig to run smoothly down the road. ...

I've had a shake I couldn't... shake for the last 2 years until this past weekend.
I finally added dynabeads and removed all my wheel weights and wow... feels so good! I'm never using wheel weights again. I had the tires balanced 4 times over the last 2 years and each time they felt a bit better for a day or two but then the shakes would come back.

Pretty easy to tell if the shake is from road input or rotating input. If the shake starts each time the Jeep reaches a certain road speed then the cause is probably rotating input. If the Jeep runs fine until shaking starts suddenly after a rough section of road, then the cause is more likely to be road input.
With a tight and correct front end, road input won't cause continuous shaking but bad rotating parts will.
My earlier comments were about shakes that are continuous whenever rotating parts reach a certain speed.
Thanks for all the input! Went and talked to my guy at 4WP and said pretty much everything y'all did. BUT, he added to try and drop the PSI 1-2 PSI in the tires. Well i did and BAM, fixed. They also got rotated AND my spare showed up. My jeep only has 61,xxx miles on it and everything seems to be in good order. Ball joints will be upgraded to syngery when the time comes but as of now they look/feel fine.
