Death Wobble
I have a 2000 Jeep Cherokee Sport 4x4 thats got a bad death wobble. I just put 31x10x50's on it and its made the wobble really bad. I put a new track bar on it and it seemed like it fixed it but the wobble is still there. Before I changed it, my jeep would go ape **** about 45 milesanhour. Now I can hit 45 and it dont wobble unless I hold my speed at 45 for about 25-30 seconds. I also took my steering shock off to replace it but it stillfelt tight. I took it to the tire shop and they told me it was my radius arm bushing and the sway arm bushings. I replaced the sway arm bushings and the track bar but the issue is still there. Could it be cause the tires aint balanced or maybe the rims themself are bad??? I have already spent too much money on it and I would like to get it fixed soon. If anyone could help me that would be nice, thanks!!!
I'm in the process of putting a steering stabilizer on it now. Hopefully that should fix some of the problem. My tires are "NOT" balanced so that might also help the wobble. But I will check everything like u said to do. I sure do appreciate all the help.

Tires being balanced won't help much, maybe a little. The steering stabilizer is just going to mask the wobble, not fix it. Try to find the source of it.
Hey buddy check your wheel balance and alignment then if that dosent work your trck bar will be the problem the bolt that holds the track bar in place at the bottom will be loose or bushings are shot. . I run to this problem all the time with my customers
