Those videos are great. I checked under the Jeep last weekend and found that the new track bar I bought had way too much play in it. It ended up that the metal sleeve inside the bushing is about 1/2mm too large. This allowed the bolt to move and caused play in the steering.
Luckily I kept the original track bar so I reinstalled it. The Jeep drives much better now! Its not wobbling over bumps that would normally cause it to wobble. I still think I need a new track bar as the bushings in the stock bar are worn but this is a big improvement over last week.
This is the track bar I bought:
Im going to see if I can return it and get something better.
