Zj death wobble plz help
 
got a 96 grand Cherokee Laredo 4.0l and its got a major 25 mph death wobble.

rough country 4'' long arm kit
new inner and outter tierod ends
new driver axle
2'' front wheel spacers
31x10.50 mud terrain goodyears
new double u-joint front driveshaft

so heres what happened and what ive done so far. my OEM driveshaft couldnt handle the lift kit so it started binding pretty bad. i drove about 3 weeks with the bad driveshaft cause i was broke at the time. i finnally replaces the driveshaft and that's when i noticed a wobble at 55 MPH. i thought it might be an improper balance so i took the drive shaft out and drove the vehicle and the wobble jumped to 65mph. so i put the driveshaft back in after thinking its probably not in the DS. after reinstalation my wobble went down to 35 MPH. the jeep is parked now at my shop. i put in a new eyelit for my trackbar because i noticed a little play and nothing changed. ive aligned the vehicle the best i can but i couldnt find parameters for 4'' lifted zj's anywhere. ive tightened every suspension bolt.

any advice/tricks/tips would be very helpful im so stumped right now thankyou.

Replace your track bar....9 times out of 10 its your track bar...I went through the same thing with my jk I had major death wobble and replaced all bolts including track barhad no play anywhere and still had DW. Completely changed track bar and it went away....is this wobble onset bye anything? DW will be started bye usually a pothole of dip in the road if not it may have similar symptoms without being real death wobble. This guys a genius with this hell get you the info you need

Try swapping your tires front to rear. Sometimes a bad balance will cause it especially at certain speeds. If the track bar is good and tight also check your ball joints.
