if you feel the shake in the steering wheel, either your front tires are chopped up or out of balance, if you feel the shake in the seat your rear wheels are the problem. a bad u joint can also cause a shake but usually that comes with a lot of noise, bad tie rods could cause a frt end shake but they have to be extremely loose to do so, which i wouldn't expect from a 98 yukon. run your hand over the tires and be sure they are smooth, and get it checked just to be sure the front end is in good shape.

What condition are your tires in? If you are having vibrations at high speeds, most likely the belts in your tire are starting to separate. This could be really tragic, and should be taken very seriously. A tire, if not all four have broken belts, and you blow a tire going 70 mph on the interstate could and probably will result in a serious if not fatal accident. Get you tires checked by a tire dealer. ON a less serious note, your tires could be low on air. Which can result in excessive tire wear, more stress on your linkage and steering, Not to mention a decrease in your gas mileage.

Most likely cause is an out of balance tire. Front end might need an alignment, or maybe a wheel bearing is wearing out. Either way, you should get this looked at soon before something bad happens.

Have you had the tracking checked? That is, that the front wheels are perfectly aligned? That's very often the cause, especially if you have hit the wheels hard against the kerb or something else recently.

Your tires probably need to be balanced if the vibration is in the steering wheel and seat.

sounds like a tire balance issue, also may need a tire rotation
could be cupping due to lack of rotation. have 4 tires balanced and rotated if needed always rotate front to back.

Check the Brakes, rear u-joint, or tires, have all those checked by a tech

take your truck in, it could be the tires, either you need them to be rotated or you may need new tires.
