death wobble/ bump steer
ok i have just got brand new lower control arms and a drop pitman arm on for my dw case. it does still but it doesnt shake like dw. i can move my drag link up and down but it takes some effort to do so. i am wondering if my tre's are needed replacing. i dont know what to do anymore. i have replace literally everything up front except the tre's but that wouldnt cause dw i think because they were just as bad when it was stock. i dont know what to do and i have been throwing money at way too much. its really annoying its a 03 jeep wj 4 in lift.

Are the TRE loose? If not then replacing them doesn't make sense. I see you have a 4" lift the drop pitman arm shouldn't be necessary. If anything that might be causing bump steer. What sort of alignment did you get after your lift? Is the trac bar adjustable and did you center the front axle?

yea the tre's on the drag link were loose but not like hardcore loose. i know when i would turn the wheel the steering tre would kinda do a pop. and the tre's on the tie rod were really worn out so i replaced those. with my new lca's on my front axle stopped moving. i have a jks adj trac bar with kevins off road hard ***** bushings so it doesnt move. my next concern is if the drag link is sitting below the trac bar could that do it. i mean its only like 1.5 2 inches below it. im running out of theories and its burning up my wallet.
