Thanks for the reply you guys and I will go with the lower control arms and then take the trackbar off and see if its wallowed out any......I really dont want to throw a bunch of parts at it but i do want my steering tight and not flighty or shimmy alot. I understand its a jeep thing and i love it.

We will see what happens. I do want that monster track bar from from teraflex though

I check everything and all the trackbar and tie rod endings are tight as can be.
Aside from all the great recommendations. I just wanted to point out the obvious (dont know if you did or did not do this already) but it doesnt cost anything. Since you've checked the tightness of the track bar, was it installed & torqued to the proper specs with the full weight of the Jeep on the ground and not while it was jacked up? Best of luck in finding a remedy...Keep us posted..Thanks...
