I have the same issue between 45 - 52 slower or faster than that and its fine but its not all the time sometimes its fine with no wobble. Its weird ,Ive had the tires balanced,loosened and retightened the suspension bolts while jk was on the ground,realigned,checked all suspension and steering for where and cant find anything bad. Its really frustrating that I can go down the highway at 65-75 and run smooth as a cadilac but I cant do 45-52 without wobbling.

Ditto here. Wierd. Bought most of the 9/16 suspension hardware to replace oem 14mm stuff (before I saw the Northridge 4x4 kit- doh!)

Rotating tires usually works unless you have multiple tires that won't balance. Mine was road matched or what ever DTD soaked me $50 for extra balancing. Had a wobble from the day it went on. Had them rebalanced and it was better but still there. When the time came to rotate it stopped completely. A speed wobble is a tire. The bolt kits aren't gonna help.

Bring it in for a full alignment reading. See what your toe is set at and your camber. I can't remember but I think having your toe set in slightly can cause some wobble.
