Answer:

It sounds like worn steering linkage to me. Check the inner and outer tie rod ends for play, also check the pittman arm and idler arm, especially where they mount to the tie rod. While you have it jacked up, take a look at the upper lower control arm bushings and ball joints.
Absolutely, I wear them all the time because of it. We were running a water line in under the roof of our camp, don't ask why we did it like this, long story that ends with it was the best way to do it. I needed to remove a foot wide strip of the roof across the entire width of the roof, tar shingles. so I set our old circular saw up to cut just deep enough to touch the other side of the plywood. As I was sawing though the shingles, wood and sometimes nails (we used an old blade that was junk anyways) and getting peppered with bits of the stone that is embedded into tar shingles a large bit flew up and slammed right into my safety glasses. I mean it hit hard, I can't imagine how bad it would have been if I hadn't been wearing safety glasses. I was actually kind of thankful that it hit the glasses rather than my face. I realize that it was a job for a full face shield, but we didn't have one. on a side note, we were replacing the shingles with a steel roof the next month. Also, I play paintball. I don't recommend this, but my friends and I play with our guns set at full velocity. I know that mine shoots just under 500 fps so you usually fell pretty happy to be wearing your full paintball mask when a paintball nails the center of your lens.
the shaking is related to the play in your wheel, have your wheel bearings checked. if your front end is equipped with a steering stablizer, it may be bad also do to the shaking..
