I'm looking for advice on how to solve the death wobble that develops occassionally when driving at speeds greater than 60 mph on my 1998 stock 4wd Cherokee Classic with 155K miles. It is my daughter's car for driving to highschool and I am worried about her safety. I have already done the following:

New Moog steering stabilizer
New Moog trac bar
All new polyurethane bushings in the front end
Alignment
New tires 225/75 R15 (balanced, proper pressure)
New ball joints

I haven't replaced the shocks, but they seem to be functioning properly. I also haven't replaced the front-end bearings. We have owned the car for two years and it didn't have any problems for the first year. I am stumped on where I should go next to solve the problem.

Best advice I can give is search the hundreds of posts on here about "death wobble".

U joints most likely

U joints on the front drive shaft or on the front axle?

lots of post about it like already mentioned. spend some quailty time under the jeep, pulling and prying on all componets of suspension and drive train, watching while someone turns the wheel, looking and feeling for slack or play. what kind of tires? had some goodyear wranglers that caused speed related wobble on mine no matter how many times balanced. Hate those tires.

Yes yes and yes. Get someone to turn the wheel some while you're looking under for something that is popping, loose, missing, whatever.
