Sorry, if I didn't ask some one else would have.

Is your Jeep stock or do you have any suspension mods, tires, wheels, and things like that?

Did you check your Wobble Shaft?
If it's not that, Check the steering stabalizer and all the bolts around the front end.

i would triple check the track bar, make sure the bolts are tight and tightened to 125lb of torque. get a friend with jeep on to turn the wheel right and left while your looking at the trackbar and see if it shifts even a little. any slight movement in the bolts makes a huge difference in drivablity and may attribute to a Deathwobble. good luck it can be a pain to track down suspension quirks. could be a number of things from tires out of balance to trackbar or bent rods. maybe even exagarated bump steer.
