Default sway bar & fron vib question

so i was reading a members build thread and it mentioned him having serious death wobble at 55mph while his sway bar was not connected. after connecting them he stated that he had no DW up to 70mph. im running 6.5" with 32s and dont have DW by any means but i do have a slight vibration up front and my steering is all over the road after numorious allignments. would getting quick discos and reattaching my sway bars eliminate any of this by any chance? thanks for any input

swaybar has ZERO to do with death wobble.

if the steering is all over the place, then yeah that would be death wobble. the swaybar just controls body roll
