Exclamation 88 4 runner wobbling

okay i have an 88 4x4 4runner dlx with a 22re. after i drive for around 3 minutesand get up to 45-55mph it starts shaking pretty bad. when it first happened i thought i ight have thrown off a tire weight but it didnt do it again for a while. then yesterday it started up again. also when i push the brakes i can feel it kick in the pedal. i checked the driveshaft and it is a little loose on the side that connects to the transmission. someone please help me!

first thought that came to mind was tire balancing. Another potential cause could be if your sway bar got disconnected, although I would doubt that since tons of people remove the sway bar without noticing a difference.

i thought about the tires too but why would it take 3-4 minutes to start wobbling?

Could be a bad u-joint in your driveshaft. But that would be more of a vibration than a wobble.

If its in the rear it could be loose shackle bolts (or rear u-joint)
