Default Wobble at speed? (not death wobbe)

My stock 2008 Rubicon has a "wobble" or "shimmy" at about 50-65 mph nowadays...

I rotated the tire, didn't help.

Alignment? (looking for next steps...)

Thanks!

Did you lose a wheel weight on some of the wheels, that may cause it.

I would definitely check the balance of the tires like Jae mentioned. There was just another thread on death wobble and the wheel balancing was the culprit.

That's usually a balance issue. Should be an easy fix.
