^^^Thanks but that must mean you didn't fix it yet?

 

Nice pics, although I noticed a missing lug nut and a wrench hanging from your right front axle.

 

Haha! Yeah, I was in the middle of swapping in a stock track bar when I took that pic. Did you see the video I posted before that. The "new" track bar seems to have a little play

 

Well guys, after 6 months of trying everything, i was able to drive my WJ today!!! what i did was press out the bushing on axle end of RC track bar and put in a poly bushing i had laying around from my XJ. I had to put the trackbar in upside down though ha! so now the heim joint is on the axle end.
I emailed rough country last night about the play in the bushing on my brand new track bar: They actually emailed me back around 8pm and said they would send me one out first thing in the morning. I cant say anything bad about there customer service for sure!
anyway, i'm gonna bring it to get a third alignment because the tires are fighting each other a little.
I may still put adjustable lower control arms in case i decide to go up a little more. Anybody got a set they wanna sell?

i gotta say THANKS TO EVERYONE!!!!!!!!!!

 

So what you're saying is IT WAS THE TRACK BAR AFTER ALL! Duh....

 

No Dave, I just mean I can finally drive it. Still happens at 45 but I'm pretty sure that's my lower control arms. Duh! And thanks to the people that suggested that

 

Hey, I meant no disrespect. I was just joking. I just hate it when the answer turns out to be something simple that I overlooked.

 

Dave, none taking. I wish that was the end of it but I gotta wait for Monday to get alignment done. When I contacted RC and told them there new track bar had a defective bushing they said they would get one out ASAP. I got home last night and it was on my doorstep. Not just a bushing but a whole dang trackbar! Ha! Good people! Lesson to everyone: just because you have all new parts doesn't mean they can't be bad.

 

Did you check the bushing in the second Bar yet? It is my luck that I get an "exact" replacement for the part that was wrong and the replacement is still wrong too.

 

Glad to here you at least found half the problem! Good luck with the rest!

 

I was looking at the RC 4" lift kits at Morris and the kit has a track bar mount with a unit-body stiffener in it. I notice there is a problem with broken bolts and frame areas around the steering box on the WJs with lifts, so I was wondering if your frame was flexing. They actually thinned the metal on the WJ's to make them lighter.

 

Well guys. It's still there I installed the new track bar and the bushing on axle end still moves a little. Enough to notice it. It's not the bolt moving, I welded a washer and watched it real close. It's actually the bushing. Do y'all think with a little bit of play, it will cause DW at 35mph??

 

I cannot believe this thread is still alive and you haven't found the problem yet! Maybe you could mount a camera underneath and drive it until it wobbles. That might help isolate the problem. You might need a drop bracket for the track bar to make it act straighter on the axle.

 

I am about to wave the white flag and just surrender! I've gotten to the point of taken new parts off and changing them. I'm gonna mount a camera underneath this weekend I guess. What really just blows my mind is how bad it is at such a low speed. You would think something would be obvious but nothing underneath is showing any play except maybe 1/8 play in track bushing.
But even that I would think wouldn't let the wobble be so bad at 35mph. At only 3 inches of lift

 

you said there is still a lil play in the axle end of the track bar? im having the same kind of dw issue on mine, but at 45+ mph, and does not move at all at the axle end. not even a bit. (mine is a bad heim at the frame end of the track bar) i bet that is still your culprit. might wanna try a different brand track bar. ( ive had bad ball joints, control arm bushings, bad tie rod ends and u joints on each side of the axle, bad at the same time, with NO death wobble, even at 80+ mph) this has lead me to believe that those dont really cause DW. (and by DW i mean the extremely violent shaking that is set off! not bumpsteer or a lil shimmy here and there) its always the track bar. in your case it is too. you said the bolt does not move, its the bushing. it might just be a crappy quality. but anyway like i said maybe try a different bar. mine has absolutely NO play at the axle end (99 wj 4 inch long arm lift)
