Probably not. I went through hell with death wobble, nearly replaced nearly everything that can go bad. Been death wobble free for about a year now, hopefully it doesn't come back. I experienced death wobble a few times in Hawaii where the speed limit is 55 and most people drive slow. I can't imagine how bad it would be here in California while going 70. :/ Are you getting death wobble or a shimmy? You pretty much have to stop to make death wobble go away and in my case I nearly shit my pants the first time I experienced it. I still get nervous sometimes lol driving a Jeep will never be the same post death wobble.

ok so had everything checked everything is tight and torqued to spec wheel bearings are good, tie rods are good, but when doing the dry steer test the track bar on the frame side goes up and down about a millimeter. but is tight. My front sway bar slides side to side about .75 of an inch? is that normal?
