Steering stabilizers do not cure death wobble, they only mask the real problem. Check all of the tie rod ends, control arm bushings, and ball joints for wear. Death wobble is cause by worn parts and/or bad steering geometry.

My trac bar has a tiny tiny play in it. I wonder if the rough country trac bar is just a pos. I dont have a drop pitman arm 4 wheel parts said that little height shouldnt hurt.

I know that about the stabilizer. My rough country adj trac bar i wonder if its a pos it has tiny tiny pplay in it. I can see the axle move. I did have a issue with the old trac bar bolt that broke and we had to re drill out the bolt hole on the trac bar piece. One side is bigger than the other. I wonder if the bolt has play.

(they're the same as the XJ, just a slightly different part number.)
