I got the strangest shimmy, real bad at 65, bad enough I was worried
about losing a tie rod end or wheel bearing, all from that stupid fan
clutch. I think it was pulsing the steering pump via the belt.

The biggest problem is the shocks are shot. You can not tell unless
you remove them from the jeep. Also the tires are out of round enough
to get the vibration started.
I had the exact same problem.

Good luck,
Dave
