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!

The steering stabilizer won't cause death wobble. The track bar is the leading cause of death wobble.

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.
