Default Flighty steering

Have an 07 JKU. Just replaced the coils, and shocks over the weekend. Steering was feeling flighty before the change over, so that's not it. Changed bumpers a couple of weeks ago and started noticing it right after. I know that can't be it... So where do I start? Stabilizer?

Loosen up all your control arms at both ends, then rock the JK back and forth/jump on the bumpers. Then with the JK on the ground,re-torque your control arm bolts.

Front lower and rear upper control arms would greatly help if what Teraflex said doesnt get you where you want the steering.

Cool. What do I need to torque them to?

Uppers should be 75 and lowers should be 125.
