help please! death wobble.
I have a 94 grand cherokee 3" spacers amd shocks only. I used to have death wobble with stock tires when i would hit a bump doing about 50mph, found out the stearing stabilizer was missing. I poped one on and all was good. Now i bought set of 36/13.50r15 irok super swampers, with 2" spacers to make fit. Now i get death wobble on smooth payment going about 40. I check all my bushings, and made sure everything is tight. What do i do next to get it to stop cheap fixes first, because i will one day put bigger axels and all under my jeep. So i dont want to spend alot of money to just get rid of later. Just please any suggestions im a mechanic and cut weld and fabercate anything so no idea to far out there.
Thank yall.
Thank yall.

I had dw in both my xjs first one was caused by worn tie rod ends sec one was cause of loose track bar.. but bad uca an lca bushings will give you the loose feeling just before dw hits. I know the for fact cause i went threw it couple times it sucks but is funny to watch every one around you freak out

My axle is pulled to the left a little and not causing the wobble. Not saying it wont but its more then likely a tie rod end or loose track bar

Definitely make sure you have track bar brackets or adjustable track bars. Also check your ball joints, replace your steering stabilizer if it's stock and looks bad. Also check your hub assemblies, control arm bushings, etc.
