Default Wobble upfront

2002 Jeep grand Cherokee 4.7 V8. I have a slight wobble up front when i hit a bump. Was told it was a bad steering stabilizer and I'm going to have it replaced. My stupid question is and I believe I know the answer but are there 2 of these one on each side of the truck? Because I was going to replace them both.

A steering stabilizer will not cure or cause a wobble, it will only mask the real problem. Control arm bushings, tie rod ends, ball joints, track bar, and hub bearings should all be checked for wear and looseness. Is there a lift of any kind on your rig?
My gut feeling is telling me it may be a worn track bar bushing.

Also it's Seems More pronounced when the passenger side of the truck hits a bump if that matters.
