Death wobble!!!!
Ok I have a 92 xj. I got it form a guy who piece milled a 4in lift I think. The front was a bit lower so I added spacers to level! I had to get a adjustable track bar an sway bar links. Now I can't for life of me get it to stop the death wobble! Any help would be greatly appreciated!! Thanks guys!

Is your drag link parallel with tracbar? How do your tie rods look? Bushings? Tires? Last time it was alighn? Ball joints? Control arms? Check all the basic things first and then go from there.

It's pretty close. All joints are tight. I may have a little play in the lower control arms but it's minimal. I got the track bar from rough country and the upper joint moves up and down a bit. They sent me another one and it's the same. Pit it in te alignment rack yesterday and all seems to be fine. It feels so rigid. It feels like to me when you max torsion bars all the way. That's the ride it feels like! My shocks are ab an inch form being maxed out.

I betting the Control arm bushings are worn out.
All those little things you mention leads to a lot of slop and ultimately causes DW.

There shouldn't be play in either end of the track bar. That alone could be your issue, or compounding the other ones.

Throw away the Rough Country track bar and buy a quality one.
When you buy the cheapest product on the market, you get the cheapest quality product on the market. Hate to break it to you.

Have to agree... My moog wore out after two years and the front end was all over the place. Replaced with an RE1600 and it's rock solid.
