Default Another death wobble thread

I had death wobble about 10-12k miles ago. i ended up replacing the tie rod, drag link, steering stabilizer. I have been experiencing the initial signs of DW as i was before (slight shimmy that goes away quickly) I have been reading through all the death wobble threads and came to a general idea of loosening all suspension components shaking the jeep and re-torquing to spec. can anyone provide a list of components that need this. w/ a 2" BB are adjustable Lower control arms necessary?

Are you using an aftermarket front trackbar/trackbar bracket? Do you now what your toe is?

The trackbar has to be super tight on both the axle and frame side. The holes the bolts go thru need to be round so they cant move in the braket. If you are using a front trackbar backet be suspect of it. Remove it and see if you still have the issue. If your front toe is way off get it fixed. Nothing more that 1/8th in toed in. If you have any worn, even a little, bushings or rod ends replace them.
