Recently had severe front-end shakes on my 89 SWB patrol. So severe it felt like the front-end was about to rip out and the steering wheel was hard to hang onto. I have owned the vehicle since new and never before experienced anything like it. It always occured around 50-70kph and would happen every 5-10ks depending on my speed. Upshot was we replaced the Panhard rod bushes and no more shakes. An hours work and 60 bucks later it was fixed. No shakes for the past 2 weeks. Hope this helps.

I know this feeling, I had it so bad on my rig it felt like the axle was about to fall out or something, I had to slow right down and straighten up to get it to recover. Changed the panhard rod bushes and problem was gone.

I have a 88 GQ run swampers and if you go off road the tyres may lose a weight on you or take chunks of rubber off, judging from what you've said get your tyres rebalanced and your problems solved. speaking from personal exsperience
