Default Track bar hole wallowed out?

Do you guys think this front track bar hole needs to be reinforced with washers? Is this not bad at all; should I wait to see if it gets worse? Both track bar bolts are torqued at 125 lb/ft.

Do you ever have vibration or death wobble issues?

Yeah, I developed a really bad death wobble on mine and that was one of the things they cited when they looked at it at the local 4x4 shop.
