Again. BODY ROLL, or DRIFTING/WANDERING on the roll? Which are we talking about (original poster...)
People talking sway bars and caster in the same thread are in no way related. Two totally different areas in suspension.

i took the jeep for a ride and it is way diffrent. Before i had the front adjustable track bar and rear relocation bracket fitted, there was no swaying from side to side. It feels like the one tyre is smaller than the other. The tyres are all the same psi. Could there be somthing wrong with a coil? But surely you would see this when the jeep is parked on a level surfaface? Its like one tyre is flat and the other 3 are not.
post some pics of the entire JK and then various pics of the suspension set up..

body roll. If you stand next to you jeep and put you and on the windows and push it softly from the side it rocks. Now that is what it feels like when i drive. It rocks the most when i turn but also in a straight line

For what its worth, my JK is lifted close to 4" and I run 35's, my jeep has almost zero body roll, if you grab a hold of it and try to rock it side to side, it barely moves.. I can (and do) whip my JK around ramps, I LOVE the way it drives on the road..
I also have AEV's suspension that was tested on a slalom (and Teraflex's super slick S/T sway which is firmer than stock), and I swapped from OME's coils because I wasnt really happy with its ride either.
i wouldnt say its the nature of the beast, maybe just the nature of that particular suspension setup. Tera's S/T sway will help in this situation, it helped me when I was running OME coils

I get what your saying but why now? I got this over 6 months ago. I was sick of the way it handled so i was told to do the front adjustable track bar and rear bracket(i know this shouls have been done in the bigining) i then also had longer rear links fitted and the old rear ones were moved forward. Thats when it all started to go bad. I will get lower adjustable control arms next week and i know this will make my jeep track straight and not pull to the left like it does now. But thats not going to stop this rocking effect

ok sorry, reword nature of the beast, yes nature of the particular suspension.
you ask well why now? maybe one option is your suspension i guess would say settled and has become more loose so in turn you get more swaying from your springs
i honstly have no idea, just throwing an idea out there that maybe someoen else can elaborate on
