Death wobble ****please help****
Long story short I broke my axle housing on a JK Rubicon unlimited. I replaced the housing, bent axle, ect. Took it out for a test and death wobble like crazy. I then took it to a 4x4 shop to get aligned and they had no luck. They advised to replace the tie rod, drag link, track bar, stabilizer, balanced all for wheels, and even put factory wheels on it to test and STILL no luck. It only does it between 40ish and 50ish. The alignment did help but it only seems to do it after sitting for awhile. I'm lost any ideas anyone?
I believe the shop checked all that but just in case does anyone know the torque specs on everything for the front end or where i can find them? Also the new axle housing i but had new ball joints in it so they should be fine. Housing was but from jeep.

It's possible that when the shop re-installed the axle and removed the bolts for control arms , trackbar, etc. That they did this on a lift with the suspension drooped, and hit everything with an impact. This is not the proper way to torque the suspension, if you do it like that when it's back on the ground, the bushings will have a sort of pre-load or bind on them. I suggest you loosen( don't take bolts out) both the upper and lower CA's and both bolts on your trackbar , bounce the front of your jeep a few times and then tighten everything to spec while it's on the ground
Most shops won't put it on the ground to torque it, that means they have to lay on the ground. If they wanted to lay on the ground they wouldn't buy lifts. You need to loosen everything up, bounce on it a few times, then torque everything to spec.
