    Check wheel balance and have suspension carefully checked for wear, especially the ball joints and track bar bushing, joint and mount.

This is known as a death wobble. I am guessing that the jeep is lifted which will put of the center of gravity. Try getting an alignment and balance tires first. Then if that doesn't solve the problem move on to check your tie rod ends and ball joints. There are also many parts that may be needed when lifting a jeep to help put most caster into the front axle for a proper alignment. There are longer lower control arms, Shorter upper control arms, longer pitman arm, etc.

Wheel bearing? If you turn left and it gets louder. It is the right wheel bearing. And vice versa.

My 1989 Chevey Celebrity started shaking the other day the front part of the car, not like the front end is messed up but it shakes.

Could be a wheel, tire, or axle shaft.
You could rotate the tires front to back and see if the vibration moves.
If it does the problem is one of the tires or wheels.
If it stays in the front, its probably one of the axle shafts. It could also be a hub bearing or something loose in the suspension. But a loose suspension part would normally show up when you hit a bump rather than on a smooth road.

Front end shakes heavily when making right hand turns and when the car reaches a speed of 40 mph and continues to shakes well into the 70 mph zone. I have replaced the outer tie rods because a shop told me...

You don't have the year or anything on your post, but i'm assuming it's front wheel drive, and your problem is likely CV joints. You will have to replace them. The easiest way is to buy half shafts. That would explain the shaking when you turn right, but as for the shaking up to 70, you either have a wheel out of balance, or bent rim, or a tire that has gone out of shape.

Shakes at 60 mphexplorer xlt

Tires would be the 1st place to check. If you seem to feel it more in your legs then it is likely the front, if felt more in seat bottom then could be a rear tire. Depending on how severe the vibration is there could be a tire developing a tread seperation and should be checked right away. A simple balance of the tire and wheel assemblies may be all that required also but when on a balancer they should be able to tell if the tire has a more severe problem.
Driveline components could cause vibrations also however if the above sounds like it fits then check that 1st.
