Here is my 2 cents.

I had the same problem with drivability after I replace everything in my front end. Jeep was wandering all over.

Here is what I did that worked.

I My toe in was at 3/16 and I further toed in one entire rotation of the tie rod bar. The one extra turn really made it drive good.

So I backed it off a half turn and it still drove well. That is where I am leaving the adjustment for now. Ill keep my on tire wear but I will sacrifice a bit for drivability.

Also I did not have a steering stabilizer originally. So I added one and it seems to take the roll out of the drag link.

Good luck let me know if you get it solved!

yeah... it's just enough to tick me off a bit... I'm going to have to find the actual cause of it near future.. I'm driving the XJ more than I was previously. Will need new shoes soon and don't want the geometry on the steering to be off on expensive new tires.
