Death wob
Recently did my tie rod and ends, and drag link tre, today on the fwy I got GNARLY death wobble and had to pull over, did I not tighten it? Only happened at about 70mph, got off fwy took back roads and it was okay, but ny steering wheel is a little more off center. On the way back home. Happened again at about 60mph and almost killed me. Now my steering wheel is even more off center and I have a decent amount of play in the wheel 04 wj, any thoughts?

It's possible the threads in your steering rod (master link) are rusted to the point of not holding the length setting. This is supported by the steering wheel being off center. The tube is quite thin on the WJ and should be replaced from time to time. This happened on my 2000, although luckily when I was backing out of a parking spot. The tierod end pulled completely out of the tube causing the wheels to not respond to any input. I had just replaced that end.
