Default Death wobble, help!!!

I have recently purchased a 2001 jeep cherokee. When driving on the free way I experienced a death wobble. I have replaced upper/lower control arms, all four shocks, all tie rod ends, steering stabilizer, and trac bar. This helped for a few weeks but when driving on the interstate I hit a bump and sure enough it happened again! Any advice would be appreciated!

It could be bad ball joints let a shop check everything to see what's really wrong.

It has a leveling kit but that's it. Stock size tires with good tread.

Have also done balancing and an alignment. My back axle doesn't sit completely straight though. Ot

It has a small but seeable thrust angle
