With the Jeep on the ground have someone jerk the steering wheel back and forth violently with the engine off and watch both track bar bushings.
I thought mine were tight and when my wife did that I saw some definite movement although very little it still shouldn't at all.

Since the bushings were worn and I needed a new one for more length for my 4" lift anyway I put on a JKS and Synergy frame brace it completely fixed my little occasional wobble

Pinion angle will tell you your caster.
