1996 Grand Cherokee death wobble issue
I have read many posts about the DW issue on Wranglers and learned what suspension parts and other things to look for to resolve the problem.
However, I am dealing with my mother inlaws Grand Cherokee and I have found some slop in the track bar and steering stabilizer unit.
I wanted to get some feed back from any experienced owners here, that have used the Hard - KOR - Track Bar Conversion kit from kevinsoffroad.
Has anybody had any problems with getting their product and did it work like it was supposed to and so on.
The reason I was thinking about ordering their kit is because the parts are supposed to be beefier and have tougher bushings than the factory and other aftermarket companies.
Any feedback would be appreciated before I send funds.
If I have named a company here, that I am not supposed to, then somebody let me know and I will delete my post and try like hell to figure out how I will find out some feedback from others.

I haven't used that product, but I've known Kevin for a long time and had his rock rails on my old ZJ and he's been around the block and then some at this point.
I think he hooked up with a user from another forum "Kolak" aka Nick who knows a LOT about the ZJ as well.
Should do what it is advertised to do.

I've been so busy I have forgotten about this thread.
It took about 6 weeks for the kit to arrive.
I installed it with new front shocks and sway bar end links & bushings.
The death wobble is gone now.
I then took the cherokee in for a front end alignment and new tires.
I am very happy with everything I installed.
The kit is badass and fit the 2WD cherokee we have, with no problem.
The only negative thing I can say is it took a long delivery time for the kit to arrive.

It should never
Be the antisway bar bushings. That is usually just a clunk or squeak.
