TPS,
  Whats causing it is, well, the fact that you have
the differentials locked.  Thats why they are there. 
Some of us lock the center at the track (Esp on high
power 4ktq's and even normal 4kq's) but when the tires
cant slip like in the snow the car shimmy's.  At high
speed you just dont notice but the tires are skidding
a bit.  Save it for the track or the dirt or snow.  Or
rain if your really playing. :-)
