That is an excessive amount of play for sure. Did you try throwing the stock TB back on yet?
I remember you said you were getting a bit of a wobble recently as well. If the TB isn't the source of your problems, check your Toe-in. I went through the same situation recently where I replaced my JKS for the Stocker only to find out my Jeep doesn't like to run too much toe-in. It would cause the tires to fight for traction leading to a wobble.

I've been experimenting with toe-in as well. I'm at 3/16 right now and it seems pretty good.
No more wobble though! I installed the northridge bolt kit (I believe you recommended this) and got rid of my tire beads in place of Road force balancing. That constant shimmy probably prematurely wore out my bushings.

Didn't have time to try stock. Left this morning for a long trek to rubicon trail. I'm gonna try and stop into metalcloak on Monday or Tuesday to see if they have bushings.

Hope this vid works: http://magis.to/fycqWQRTGEIsP3kGDmEwCX17?l=vsm&o=i&c=c Made this vid with a free iPad app so not sure if it'll work. Been having a hard time tracking down by wandering issue. I have quite a bid of movement and axle shift when dry steering in my garage. The axle side bushing rally squishes a lot and moves as you can see in the end of the vid. Is this more than usual??? With both ends moving as much as they are, is this my problem? Thanks!!!
