Death Wobble & Steering Replacement ?
Well the new ZJ had some death wobble, I put it on a hoist and checked all the front end and suspension, looked great.. Did a dry steer on the ground with a buddy.. Looked great.. Now what?
I've already got a few extra parts at home I'll install.. RE steering stabilizer, and an RE adjustable track bar.
I'm looking to get a new drag link and tie rod ends to make the front steering like new, question is what brand do you guys recommend for a good stock replacement? Any help is great!

Death wobble is caused by two things, worn suspension/steering parts, and bad steering geometry. You need to figure out which one it is.

It looks like all of the bushings are oil soaked and swelled. I can't see the axle end of the track bar, but I would bet it's not in perfect shape.
