okay so took my jeep to the jeep man in greenville.he told me death wobble because i have no adj controll arms and my shocks are four a 4in lift so i guess im going to take my coil spacers out in the front and the blocks out in the back guess the guy who sold me the jeep had no idea what he was doing. and run a 4in till i can afford long arm kit and 4 new shocks. does this sound like it will work. will i need adj control arms with 4in lift or will it be okay like that it has aftermarket lower control arms with bend in them is this enough?
i just went thru it with the one i bought,jack it up in the front tilt the wheel up and down feel for slack,inspect the ujoints both of mine were shot,replaced both,still had a lil wobble but much better around 45-50mph,took it had the all the tires rebalanced and a front end alignemet,drives like butter now at all speeds i'm more than happy had under $200 in it,junk tires not balanced in the front will make one shake like hell i've road in a few over the yrs,check your wheel bearings maybe repack them with grees i did that also

okay so i have replaced all steering linkage got all tires aligned and balanced still have major death wobble at like 35 what could this be? how do i check if wheel hubs are bad or not. i also have a slight bend in the frame right before the steering box mount could this have anything to do with it. If u know or have any idea what could be causing this prob please let me know what you think i have put so much money in it already and need to figure out why this happens if i cant im going to have to get rid of it its draining me any ideas let me know plz.
