I have changed the shocks, Steering stabilizer, Ball joints, Tie rod ends, and the trackbar. It still wobbles. What else can I do besides an alignment. It is a 90 bone stock jeep cherokee.

Sadly - There is still a fair number of issues that can cause a shimmy, DW etc.

Tires / Rims, Steering gear box, sway bar links, control bushings, bolt eyelets, bolts themselves, unibody (if damaged), bearings, etc.

As a next step I would tend to go with wheels/tires and then control arm bushings. Even though you mentioned track bar already, I'd probably take another look there as well.

Hopet his helps

Why do you rule out alignment? Both the toe and caster are correct? Are we really dealing with a Death Wobble or is it a shimmy? If it is an annoying shake it is not death wobble, it is a shimmy or vibration. If you have to pull over and catch your breath and change your shorts everytime it happens it might be death wobble. It's time you start diagnosing where the problem is comming from, not just changing parts.

Things to CHECK
tire ballance, wheels not bent, bearings, ujoints, bushings, trackbar mounts again, caster settings, steering box, frame mounts, warped brake rotors, and everything you have already changed.

We had a shimmy at one point but now it is definatly a wobble. It feels like the whole jeep is going to shake to pieces and your going to lose control. I didnt rule out the alignment but I wanted to get ideas as to what else it could be. I am taking it into get aligned very soon. Probably, within the next week. I am so thankful this isnt my jeep. It is my dads but he is paying me to change parts for him.

Everything with the exception of the ball joints I have changed because I thought they were the problem. The brakes are fine for sure the whole system is less than a year old. After the alignment I am going to see if swapping my rims/tires on to my dads jeep fixes it.

Have you changed the fixed tie rod end from the passenger side wheel to the pitman, and the pitman rod end as well?

If you have, my next guess would be steering box bolts could be loose, track bar frame mount could be loose, or something loose with the control arms. keep us posted if you find the source

another solution is having someone turn the wheels while you look under the front to see if you see any side to side play with any of the linkages

look at all rod ends, ball joints, steering mount bolts, control arms, track bar mounting

Thanks everyone for all of the advice. That link to the other thread was insanely helpful why wasnt it a sticky? Anyway I know what I am going to do next. It is a speed started death wobble. Everytime I change something it is at a different speed that it wobbles and right now that is about 55. Anyway I am going to have an alignment done and I am going to swap my tires onto my Dad's jeep and see if that fixes it. Again thanks for everyones help.
