Default Steering issue limped home

Went out to eat tonight. On the 5 mile ride home my front tires were chirping and shaking the shit out of my 4 door jk with a 3 inch teraflex lift and 315s. Checked the power steering fluid and it's good but it's dark and can't tell if the track bar or steering stabiliZers is busted. When turning left I had to completely turn the steering wheel to turn left at all. Turning right when parked seemed like it shifted my whole jeep. Any ideas. Btw I have a rough country dual steering stabilizer setup up front

research "death wobble"
It may be as simple as a track bar bolt not being quite tight enough. Check them with a torque wrench.

Was it the stock one?

I had a few trackbars before I bought the teraflex. Had a cheap superlift, a full traction, and they both flexed and had bad joints that were not durable enough.

I would start looking at your other front end components and make sure nothing else is damaged.
