Default Death Wobble

Had another death wobble while driving about 40 - 45 mph when I hit a bump in the road. Service garage at the dealership said it only happens when the Jeep is lifted. My
Jeep is not lifted, ant other reasons how this can happen and how to fix it?

Death woble write up is a great one with video! one thing I could not check in my own garage was the ball joints. Sure enough ball joints was the problem. lack experince I took it to the only garage that I know works on lifted jeeps and it ended up costing 1K.
