Ok so here is a picture of my jeeps front end I have spent over a thousand dollars and countless hours trying to get rid of my "death wobble" I have had it at three different alignment shops and it still does it I have jcr one ton steering and a TNT tractbar 6 inch rough country lift everyone says your tractbar and drag link should be parallel there is no possible way for me to do so I have tried should I do away with my drop pitman arm and go back to stock to get a better angle on my drag link?

death wobble is caused by loose steering components, usually the trackbar.

Sit on the ground in front of the jeep and have a friend rock the wheel side to side. Look for where the joints are shifting. There should be little to no movement in the trackbar.

Also check your unit bearings for play.

The blower does not turn on. I removed the blower and when I hook it up to a battery in the garage, the motor works. Is there a way to test the switch in the dash?

first thing i would try is to replace your blower motor resistor pack - it's under the passenger dash, attached to the back of the blower housing. It controls the fan speed and failure is common. Also check the fuses (underhood and interior)

Would that happen to be in the same place in a 95 xj?

Can a slipping transmission cause the rpm to jump down instead of it jumping up?
