Default alignment?

I was going to get an alignment this week but i have the death wobble and i was going to replace the ball joints and the tie rod ends and the steering stabilizer. Should I do this before i get an alignment? Or should i wait to see if its gone? I also have and adjustable trac-bar that they are going to adjust for me to.

Install all of your new parts before the alignment.

Get the track bar as close to the right length as possible so you can safely drive it to the alignment shop.

Yes a trac bar that is out of adjustment could cause the issue. Definitely replace the ball joints, tre's and adjust the track bar then get the alignment. Also make sure they adjust the caster as well as toe in/out.
