Default Sway Bar Bushings

Good Evening, I drive a 93 grand Cherokee with the 5.2, and since I've had its always had some issues with the front end suspension, but lately it's gotten worse, and yes death wobble is one of those worse things, the only thing I've replaced is the track bar, because it broke as a result of the death wobble, after I put that on it felt pretty good, but lately it's going crazy again!!! I noticed that the sway bar bushings are dry and cracking pretty bad, I can also move the sway bar if I pull on it, I do have to give it some force but not too much, do you guys think this is contributing to the death wobble???

No. Sway bar has no affect on death wobble. You need to look in other places. Ball joints, tie rods, drag link, hub bearings, tire balance.
