ok I've have these death wobble issues before and each time its caused by something different. The first time it was because my tires wernt balaced correctly.

Now over the weekend I went off roading and when I got back on cement my steering was very loose and I started to wobble after getting to 50mphm turns out that the control bolt was loose from a previous project. I tightened it and threw the cotter pin back in. That fixed the loose steering, but I'm still having this issue that when I get to 50mph my jeep starts to wobble kinda bad. At this point I'm at a loss of what to check. Everything I play with seems to be tight.

I have a 97 Jeep Cherokee Sport with a Rocky Road lift kit, I think its a 3 or 4 inch lift. I have oversized 31in tires.

It'd help if you posted the repairs that you have done to help cure your death wobble. The top 3 causes are:
1. Alignment out of spec
2. Track bar
3. Ball joints

Tire balance.

i replaced the front toe bar, and didnt get it aligned right away and was dealing with the same problem. aligned it and found the front was toed in 2 degrees. fixed it and no more death wobble

Ya sorry forgot to list everything. it just left the shop and they cant find anything wrong with it.
The alignment is correct, the ball joints are good, and everything else is tight

Is it possible to have throw the tires off balance while i was off roading? because i have had this problem before and the shop said they they were severely off balance and after they fixed it, i havent had the problem for at least 8 months.

It's very possible that happened. I've heard of that happening before. I'd start there in that case

Ok, the steering stabalizer is good, no problems there. I had all the tires balanced and I thought that had fixed the problem, I drove it around for a while go on the highway and got it up to 80 with no problems. Everything was good until I went over some rail road tracks at about 35, caught a little bit of air, and when I landed the wobble started again. Should I even worry about it at this point, is it normal for this to happen when I have a slightly rough landing?
I'm taking it to get a front end alignment today just to make sure. If it still does it after the alignment I have no iddea where to go next.
