Default axle or tie rod problem.

Alright well i have a xj on 4.5inch lift. Running 33.1250.15s. I finally fixed and got rid of death wobble. Thing is it drives fine. That is unless i hit a bump on the drivers side front tire. Then the wobble comes back. Yet it doesn't happen if i hit something on the passenger side. Its a rare thing when it happens but what Im wondering is what's wrong and how to fix it. I've got just about everything you can get to prevent stop the wobble . I was told it might be my tire rod, but i have no idea weather that's the case. I know its not the wheel bering, and everything that i can see and feel seems to be tight. Any help would be appeciated. Thx

Ya, it could be your drag link TREs. But if they're new, probably not it. How old are the shocks? I had what i perceived to be DW, then put on my lift (with new shock) and it went away. If your shocks are old or leaking or otherwise beat, that might be the issue.

Alright so after much deliberation i update my track bar and bracket to a heims joint and bracket for lifts 4.5-6.5+. I also figured out that the rims i have are slightly warped. It has been riding fine yet the other day it started again
I've been told that it could be that the heims bracket is to big, or that Its due to the rim. Any ideas on possibilities would be greatly helpful. Its not my tie rod or my knuckles. I've done about everything possible to prevent dw yet it just won't stay gone. So thanks for any help or ideas y'all might have.
