Dude, in your pics, I am at a loss... Why is your Tie Rod not parrallel to the ground? It looks like it is bent, and just messed up.

Since I haven't seen it mentioned, and it is pretty important and capable of causing every problem you have.....did you get it aligned after swapping out the steering components?

Absolutely everything under that front end can cause death wobble. You just need to get under there with someone behind the wheel wiggling the wheel back and forth and checking everything. And that's just a start. I've even had the drivers side axle shaft u joint cause it. That front end definitely looks like it needs some help.. Maybe it's just the way the pics are taken.

Default checking tie rod ends

to check tie rod ends you need to put jeep on stands w/tires couple inches off ground.then you grab sides of tire and wiggle it back and forth.have some one looking at tierod ends while you do this.you will see and possibly hear it knocking.if so they are bad.if not it is ok. you can check the rest of your linkage and bushings like this too.look for side to side or up and down travel on other parts.if you have slack in them it may be bushings.i am a mechanic thats how we do it.
