Default front end help needed

I have been having off and on death wobble issues for quite a while.
I went to get an alignment by a shop that deals with lifted jeeps and they told me they couuldn't do an accurate alignement due to my tie rod ends being worn.
I went to local dealership for the no start gremlin and they looked at tie rod/drag link ball joints and said everything is tight.

What I am looking for is someone close by, I live in Farmington, Ct, that I can take a few minutes to compare tie rod movement.

I see JdTms11 goes to UHA. Any chance a meeting up w/ you at UHA?

Thanks.

Check your track bar make sure it is tight that might help with your DW.

i have been battleing this for about a year off and on.
Checked all bolts torque repeatedly, alignments, balance of tires, changed worn ball joints, hubs.
I just replaced a damaged steering stabilzer, after driving w/o it for a few days and suffering no wobble.
THere is a wealth of info here that I have tried.

Just the next step is one shop told me my tie rod ends were worn, dealership told me they were fine. I want to look at ohter's JKs to compare. I've got two people's to look at in the near future.
