My steering wheel shimmies at 40 mph only

All you need is a wheel balance. Either that or you have some mud or ice stuck in a rim, or it could be a bent rim.

Front end vibration

This is usually either wheel balance if you just feel the vibration in the steering wheel, or shock absorbers are worn if you can actually feel the front of the vehicle bouncing.

2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee steering wheel shimmies back and forth so much at 45-50 mph when you hit a bump it feels like the wheels are going to fall off. Already put new shocks, steering damper and panard...

Check your ball joints. also, if the tires are somewhat worn many times they won't have enough rotating mass to overcome side harmonics and can shake but most oftern the joints are worn. No play is acceptable there.

Brakes all 4 lock up steering wheel shakes above

OK, when the ABS module is unplugged, the same results. That tells me that the ABS system is not working properly.
Did they look into the master cylinder and other abs related components?
Any ABS codes on it?

If steering wheel shakes above 50 mph that's likely to be the tires on it, rather than a brake problem.

Have tires balanced and rotated and inspected for out of roundness that might cause vibration above 50 mph.

Hi I just purchased this car and was wondering whats the best oils(brand name & type) to use for transmission(auto),engine,brakes & power steering that wont stuff any seals. The original owners...

I would go with a good synthetic transmission oil i,m pretty stuck on pennzoil myself i've been using it for 20 years but every mechanic has there own choice. Brakes I use Bendix parts. Sounds like you might need a whell balance if your getting the shimmy around 60 to 70 mph but if its all the time have the frontend checked it could be a bad tie-rod.
