I would check all bushings on the front end, stabilizer, ball joints, and wheel bearings for play... A little play in any of it will cause a whole lot of shaking under the right circumstances. My WJ has some deathwobble still, and I've already spent almost $800. That only solved half my problem... I still need to replace the ball joints on the driver's side... I have a thread here somewhere with lots of death wobble info. Well worth reading...
Keep us posted.

switch the front tyres for the back ones and see what happens, shakes at that speed are nearly always balance issues.

I found only ONE place I can highly recommend that KNOWS how to balance tires. That is Bernard Tire Shop (St Hilaire) maybe the other branches too but I only have dealt with this one. They do truck tires, so its right up their alley when your tires need balancing. If their in other provinces I cannot say, but check out a truck balancing shop.
