Wheel bearings: Jack up and feel for movement 3 and 9 o'clock
Trunions 12 and 6 o'clock
Crawl underneath and make sure everything is tight...nuts and bolts.
Sometimes a sticky caliper will cause the shakes.
Start with this!
 
Trunions/swivel hub/knuckle bearings. Where the front wheels pivot when you turn the steering wheel.

Worn panhard rod bushes will cause a death wobble. It just takes one small bump to set it off. Also check your radius arm bushes.

Any play in any of these areas will allow this to happen. Also to little caster can aggrivate the issue. Get a caster sweep done, aim for 3 degrees.
