vibration when turning around curves above 50mph.

my company has a 98 ford expedition with 89k miles.. it has developed a bad vibration when cornering above 50 mph.. i also slightly notice it to be present when just driving straight.. but when turning, SOMETIMES not all the time but sometimes it'll get really bad and vibrate the wheel about 1/2 inch from side to side.. i'm thinking it's out of alignment which screwed the tires over and they need balancing now.. but, it's also 4wd so it almost seems as if the front hubs are staying locked.. hehe.. reminds me of my ranger, but not as bad.. before i go any deeper, anyone can help? i've read through and searched but none seems to exactly match my problem..

thanks in advance..
