Hey guys i found a samurai drop pitman arm on CL today the guy wants 25 bucks for it. I have RC 4.5" lift and now i have the DEATH WOBBLE Will the samurai pitman arm fit the xj?

Very much doubt it. A samurai is japanese and things are smaller, I wouldn't use it for that reason. Go on rustysoffroad.com and get the adjustable trac-bar with HD mount that should fix you up. You can try the drop arm first they have that as well.

a trac bar may help with the wobble but a drop pitman arm may help as well, it will also help correct the steering geometry that got set way off when you lifted your jeep. do both, and an alignment if you havent already had that done.

If none of these inexpensive fixes work or you need something done fast this is not recommended but is more like a band-aid. Toe out your front alignment and drop your front tire pressures to 25 psi. I had an old 88 that I did a 4.5 in RC lift and the death wobble was so bad it felt like loose lug nuts so I had to resort to this method temp. until I could fix it for real and it worked but killed my front tires.

I am not driving it right now. I am in the process of putting a new rad thermostat and trans cooler in. Alos this is not my DD so i can wait til i have the cash for the track bar. What is a good track bar to get? I was looking at the rough country adjustable one or the iron rock one.
