Default Issue after balljoints and all new draglink

Replaced the balljoints in the ZJ and while I was at it I installed new TRE's, tracbar, steering stabalizer, etc..

The steering is much tighter but even after an alignment and having the tires balanced on 4 different occasions I get a vibration / shake in the wheel at 50-60 and some bad bump steer.

I also occasionally feel something popping / shifting in the drivers floor board. I crawled under and had someone turn the wheel side to side and everything looks tight, however I do notice the axle shift from side to side slightly. Is this normal?

What should I look for?

Yeah, check those control arm bushings. The lowers seem to wear out more than the uppers.
