front end shaking

Tire pressure ok, have never had the steering bearings checked or replaced. I'm not mechanically inclined or do I have the jack, tools etc to tackle that job.

Oil Question

Normally use Rotella T4 or T6 JASO -MA approved. Would conventional 15/40 diesel oil that is JASO - DH2 approved work?
Noticed the T6 does not mention JASO ratings on packaging?
