could be balljoints or wheel bearing and hub assembly, causing wobble.

I've replaced all steering components and the hub bearings assemblies. Most of the bushings were replaced in the front end too! I.m digging deeper now and finging some things I missed. I fugure I'll keep putting $ into her until the wife tells me to stop. There's a monster truck garage here in Dayton that only charges $79.00 to diagnose the death wobble after I get tired of replacing parts. The jeep has 165,000 miles on her and I really want to keep her forever so I dont mind putting some $ into it.
