They could. You can disconect the sway bar, drive without it and see if that's your cause.

Sit in front of the Jeep while someone turns the wheel back and forth and look at every single suspension/steering component and see where the play is coming from.

Still have stock control arms? Very good possibility bushings are shot

Hey Acewingman,

So I had DW a few weeks ago, and I actually replaced my front suspension (they were pretty shot). I also replaced my steering stabilzer and so far my DW has left me. I have a 4.5 inch lift and 32in ATs. I spent 130$ including shipping on parts.

Maybe this info helps or maybe not. Hope you figure it out!

I did notice one of the LCA bushings is shot. I'm just trying to get an idea of if it will cause dw or not. I've already replaced all tie rods drag links steering stabilizer and track bar

Y'all will prolly wanna shoot me but oh well. Replaced my passenger side lower control arm and my wobble went away for up to 55. Now I am trying to get the money for the other control arm and will be replacing it. Then if I'm still getting it, I will replace the bushings in my upper control arms

So here is my plan for this coming weekend. Change upper control arm bushings, flush radiator and heater core and remove rear sway bar. Might do a few other things but the first two are definite. Rain or shine
