Default Death Wobble

I've been having the death wobble for about 2 mths now. Finally took it to the garage where they tell me they have found nothing. They checked and tightened everything. Where do I go from here?

did you get a print out of what all they tightend and what all they checked? specifically, i'd want to verify that they checked your front track bar, it's bushings, the mounts and, double checked to make sure that the bolts were in fact tightend to 125 ft lbs of torque. i would also want to verify that they did in fact check your ball joints. an issue with your front track bar or bad ball joints are the 2 most common causes of death wobble.

My jeep was starting the old death wobble thing as well, but my front trac bar did have play in it so i replaced it with a JKS trac bar. Now ive got to fine tune all the other stuff like re-center the wheel which ive done a couple of times allready. And maybe adjust the toe in a little. It does seem to ride better, buit i believe the above mentioned could use a little tweeking. So a big thanks to Eddie and this form for all the "How To" articles that helped me get through this stuff
