Default Death Wobble Advice!

Hi Everyone!! I thought I would get some advice from you guys since I cant figure it out on my own. I bought my 2007 4-door one year ago. I've had problems with the wobble since the first day I had it. The Jeep has a rough country lift and I'm running Wildpeak AT 315/70/R17 on Rugged Ridge Steel Wheel D Window. During the past year I have put on a new adjustable track bar, dual rough country steering stabilizer, replaced all the bolts with the 9/16", replaced all 4 ball joints on front axle, replaced steering drag link & replaced the front drive shaft. I'm still having serious wobble issues. I lowered my tire pressure from 32psi to 26psi and that made it worse. At this point I am completely stumped. The only other thing I can think of is the steel wheels aren't very true so I am putting on 35x12.50x15 BFG AT and new Black Rock D-Window Alloy wheels. Any suggestions and help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!!

Describe your wobble in more detail.

Is it all the time?

Just braking ?

Does it happen after a bump and then shakes uncontrollably until you are forced to come to a stop ?

I know the feeling, planmans vidoe will really help you out it looks like all you have left is castor to che k and your tie rod to replace, if it has had multiple episodes I hate to say but you may be to the point have having to replace already new parts

Keep your head up and wallet open, youll get it

thanks for the help guys. planman's video is great. I will go thru it all again tonight. Yep it pretty much happens all the time. If I'm on any road that isn't completely perfect it will happen. Any bump sets it off and it wont stop till I apply the breaks. I'm not letting it go crazy death wobble so hopefully I haven't damaged any of the work that has been done. I got to tell you that the jeep has been my favorite vehicle I've ever owned and also the most frustrating.
