Front end shake?
Jeep Wrangler shakes a little between 50 and 60 mph. Any suggestions?

Re: Front end shake?
Tires out of balance. Try swapping front with rear

May be the beginnings of the infamous "death wobble". Mine was cured by
a simple wheel balance. I've heard other more horrendous fixes have
been needed.
Just google "death wobble Jeep"

new steering stabilizer does wonders...if yours is oem and over 50K, replace
it!

A bad Caster and Toe-in combo can make for a very unstable front end
with big tires. If that is the cause, a stabilizer is a weak bandaid for it.

If there is a bad caster problem on a Jeep, you've got troubles, there is no
caster adjustment.

Actually is can be done but it takes some work and the kind of work
needs depends on the front end design.

Solid axle, upper and lower ball joints. Caster sleeves weren't available
last time I checked, neither is the software within the Hunter, JCB, Bear,
or FMC to make caster adjustments.
You must be talking about "back yarding" a fix. Like shims under the spring
perches, but that adversely affects pinion angles.

Not sure I would call them backyard fixes because lots of time the front
axle needs to be tipped forward anyway and that helps pinion angle, it
does not hurt it.

Re: Front end shake?
Tipping the axle forward would make the caster situation worse.
