Wobble at 55 MPH
So just recenly i put a new rough country steering stabilizer on my jeep. Love the feel of it and it coverd up my death wobble for now. But the day after i put it on the steering wheel and whole jeep begans to wobble at 55 mph? Doesnt do it a 50 mph or 60 mph... Checked for loose bolts dont know what else to do... Had the tires balanced about a month ago. Any ideas what it could be?

Every wobble starts with something that rotates and is out-of-round or out-of-balance or both.
Once the wobble starts:
Once the wobble starts:
- loose bolts,
- bad bushings,
- worn ball joints,
- worn tie rod ends,
- loose shock mounts,
- wheels bearings,
