I have had a problem for several years and sure would like to solve it. Whenever I make a fairly sharp right turn at speeds between 35 and 55, the front end shakes violently. It does not shake at all on a left turn. Also I get the same shaking whenever I brake and am steering straight. I have noticed that if I have a heavy passenger (an adult), the shaking is less intense. I am about to replace the struts but don't anticipate that this will affect the shaking much as I have had them replaced several years ago and there was no affect on the shaking then. (I'm replacing them this time because they have failed). I raised the front end and checked the bearings (by shaking & twisting the wheels) and while there is some minor play, they seem to be ok, but I am not experienced in that area. If you have any suggestions, I would certainly appreciate it. This has been a nagging problem for a very long time. Thanks.

Wedge Shaking Front End on TR7

TR7s are notorious for front-end shake, so I finally found out after researching why my last TR7 shook at 50MPH.
There are many causes, and it sounds like your car suffers from a specific issue somewhat, but not entirely related to the standard problem.
I would suspect that you'll want to look at the bearings, the bushings and have the steering rack checked for excessive play. You'll also want to have the alignment checked, since a wheel could be in slightly, causing a vibration at certain angles.
