SOURCE: 2004 Jeep wrangler steering wobble

I had the same problem on my 04 tj, if you have a lift or larger tires it happens frequently, they call it the "death wobble" buy steering stabilizers, there's one that replaces the factory one and there's another one that is supplemental and it goes a little bit below the stock one..... i got mine on quadratec.com for like $60 and i dont get any wobble anymore

SOURCE: Front end shakes when it hit a bump

Yep tie rod ends both control arms and a frame bushings. If you had time and could send some pictures I could be more presise and could give you a detaild ideal on how to test the entire front end, but you do not seem to want a lot of help as this would require me to give you two hours of instruction and testing parts that you are not aware of..

SOURCE: FRONT TIRE BOUNCE AT 40-50 MPH

relace your shocks. the design of any dampner(strut or shock design) is to return the wheel to the road for handling and safety. when the shock is worn out is with continue to bounce like a basketball. it has no more strength to return to wheel to the road. a common misconception is that they are there to absorb, not true. the springs or torsion bars are there to absorb and create ride height. the shock does nothing more then return the wheel to the road. simple and inexpensive.

2008 Enclave sways at highway speeds.

I recommend you check your tire speed rating and heat rating, sounds to me that you may have the wrong tires. I bought some cheap tires once for a TransAm, scared some sense into me, always check for a good rating on the tires, when they heat up they will float all over the road.

Windows vibrate at speeds above 50 mph on Nissan PF 2008 model?

If you're running high mileage tires or let one run low, real low on pressure a tire may be damaged. Put on a glove to protect your hand. Run your out stretched hand over surface of tire sides and tread, any bumps are suspect. Wire protrusion means stop and put on the spare.
