The problem I have is a violent shake in the steering wheel and the front wheels look like they are about to fall off when going over a bumpy road surface at around 50 - 60 mph or faster. It will only stop shaking when I slow right down. I have had a search on the site but can seem to find any thing much relating to it. Has anyone else had this problem? I have replaced the shocks recently and had it aligned but this didn't help. It is almost exactly what is described in this clip on you tube but this is in a jeep I am in New Zealand and parts have to be shipped from the states at huge cost so any information before I end up replacing parts that are not needed would be great. Thanks in advance

I've seen quite a few posts about the "death wobble" and I just started experiencing the same ugly shake at around 45 mph, also when i turn I hear a weird kinda rattle sound, kind of sounds like cv joints on an old eclipse I had. What are the most common things other than bad tires that cause this or some things to check so I can narrow down the damage and get an idea on the repair costs? I also had new rotors put on the front about 6 months ago.
