Rattle Trap

I have a 93 XJ with 277k miles on it. I never replaced the steering damper. I have a shimmy at around 60 mph but it doesn't happen all the time. It will go away. It got better when I had tires balanced and rotated but it will still shimmy at times. Not a death wobble but a shimmy or shake. I looked underneath and noticed that the bushings are worn on the steering damper. From what I have found from researching them, they are not really the cause of shaking or shimmying. Some jeep owners don't even find them necessary and take them off completely. Should I bother to replace it or is the problem more likely being caused by something else? I appreciate any advice you can provide.
