^ x2. Have someone get in the jeep and turn the wheel left to right. Look for slop in any of the tie rod ends. Replace as necessary and then do your own alignment or have one done.
It looks like your track bar is stock, and you have alot of lift. Is it? The track bar is the bar behind the drag link in the first 2 pics. The one that goes from the axle to the frame.

also, i havent had an alignment yet. but it drives streight down the road. i know i have alot of slop in the pitman arm where the TRE is at. only slop i can really find. someone told me to replace the bolts with bigger ones, ones that just barely fit in the spot.

They say 90% of death wobble comes from Trac Bar rest billows down to tie rod ends and bushings...
when i have a death wobble issue all i do is grab a buddy or your naggy girlfriend and have them steer the steering wheel left and right while the rig is on a stable surface...
Any tie rod or bushing with horizontal play(left to right movement) needs to be replaced and if you replace them make sure to measure the old stuff (tie rod - tie rod) so when you put the new stuff on it will be close to where you had it..only way to get a exact allignment is to take it to a shop
Hope this helps ive learned this from other cherokeeforum members
