Default 89 wagoneer limited death wobble

I have an 89 jeep wagoneer limited that has a bad wobble, funny thing is it only happens when I turn left. It use to wobble bad just going over 35 mph but an alignment fixed that. I did install a 3in lift which caused my front axle to shift towards the driver side. I'm in the process of ordering an adjustable track bar. My main question is why does it only happen when I turn left?

Did you check the track bar? Specifically where it attaches to the axle.

With a track bar too short will pull the axle over causing death wobble.

Yes, there is no movement whatsoever.

Oh ok. See it only happens when I turn left. It use to have a bad death wobble when I would reach 35mph. But the alignment fixed that. Now it only happens turning left and only when I'm at speeds of 35mph to 45mph. When I'm at 50 it doesn't do it as much

Can you grab a pic of the steering geometry?
