Hello everyone who reads this. This is one of my first posts. Hopefully I get this right! I have a 2000 cherokee that follows the lines in the freeway or hit a bump or pot hole the steering wheel will be pointed straight, run over the lines or other stuff and the steering wheel shifts in either direction depending on the lines or other imperfections. It is really hard to keep it straight. It looks like I am drunk driving...here is what is frustrating...I have a 6.5" Rough Country long arm lift(about 6 months old) with a 1" spring spacer, and a brand new currie HD draglink and Tie rod(it didnt fix the prob), 35" Goodyear MTR's. I have brand new ball joints and have checked the steering box by removing the drag link and checking for play there...the track bar is TIGHT. I dont see any cracks in the frame around the steering box...WTF?!?!

your track bar might just be junk. i have seen this in a jeep before and my buddy went thru 3 before he got the problem fixxed,and changing my track bar was the cure to my death wobble, sometimes they are just bad or just go bad

maybe the spacer behind the box is cracked...the alum. thing? The track bar has an adjustable end and the threads seem a little loose (jiggles back and forth) maybe thats the prob?
